Stopping a vehicle on the side of the road can be dangerous, especially at night or in places where vision may be obscured. Should the driver be unable to park a safe distance from the road, everyone inside could be placed in harm's way, as other drivers might have insufficient time to react and avoid collision upon approaching the area. A recent accident that sent three individuals to the hospital has left a 45-year-old man facing drunk driving charges in Tennessee.

The accident reportedly took place on a recent Sunday after the driver of a car decided to pull off the road to help a passenger. The driver reportedly claims that one of his friends became sick. While parked by the road, the vehicle was suddenly struck by a nearby car, and all three occupants in the first vehicle were taken to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries shortly thereafter.

During the holidays, the parking lots of various stores and outlets may see high amounts of traffic each day. While out shopping for gifts, it might not be uncommon for consumers to take a short break by their vehicles before moving on to the next location, but such an action might seem suspicious to some. Unfortunately, allegations of suspicious activity at a shopping center in Tennessee have left three individuals facing drug charges.

The incident reportedly took place in the parking lot of a local Walmart on a recent Sunday when police claim to have received information about the possible presence of drug activity. Upon arriving at the location, authorities claim to have found two individuals standing next to the vehicle while a third allegedly stood outside the store begging for money. They reportedly informed police they had ran out of gas while out shopping.

Being the subject of an ongoing investigation into the possible presence of drug activity can be a harrowing experience. Those who encounter a similar situation may feel their every move is constantly under surveillance. Unfortunately, a woman who police claim was under investigation for involvement in drug activity is facing multiple drug charges after a recent traffic stop in Tennessee.

According to reports, the incident began when the woman took a trip to a local correctional facility to visit another party. Police say she was under investigation for possible distribution of narcotics at the time and claim they were aware that she was driving on a suspended license. They advised that upon watching her drive away from the facility, a traffic stop was initiated.

When it comes to hotels, numerous individuals may have access to each room at any given moment. However, should authorities receive reports of the possible presence of drug activity at a hotel, the occupants of the room could find themselves accused of unlawful behavior. A recent search of a hotel room and two vehicles has reportedly left four men facing drug charges in Tennessee.

Authorities claim the incident began when they received reports of a strong odor of marijuana emanating from a room at a local hotel. Upon arriving at the scene, they initiated a search of the room, which allegedly led to the discovery of a pound of marijuana. Shortly thereafter, police claim to have located two vehicles belonging to the occupants of the room, and a K-9 unit reportedly indicated that there were drugs within each vehicle.
