On November 2nd, Mt. Juliet Police Officer Clark responded to Arby’s located at 245 N. Mt. Juliet Road for a person passed out in a silver Honda sedan. Police found Tammy Price passed out in the driver’s seat with a straw wrapped in a dollar bill and a plastic bag in her lap that held a pink powdery substance that appeared to be heroin. Officer Clark observed Price having pinpoint pupils and slowed speech as she exited the vehicle and she then consented to field sobriety test.
According to the affidavit, Price was unable to keep her eyes open or follow the pen.
