Airport Police Arrest of Intoxicated Mother, Charges Dismissed
On March 25, 2025, Airport Police Sergeant Johnny Harris and Officer Hannah Sims responded to an airport call about a distressed woman seeking assistance. The subject was a 24‑year‑old mother of two children, ages five months and four years, who claimed she had recently been in California for court. She repeatedly said, “I don’t want to be in Tennessee. Tennessee is weird. I don’t want to be in Tennessee. I want to be in California,” and added, “I’m not going to do anything. I want to be in California with my daughter.”
Escalation and Assessment
Officers asked basic orientation questions and observed signs of intoxication and emotional distress, including confusion about her location—she believed she was in Arizona. They offered to contact a guidance counselor, a mobile crisis team, or transport her to a hospital, but she refused all voluntary assistance. When her husband was contacted, he requested that she be taken to jail, stating he did not feel safe having her at home.
Arrest and Transport
Based on probable cause that the woman was intoxicated and a danger to herself, officers placed her under arrest for public intoxication and inability to care for herself. She was informed of the arrest and, during transport, resisted and verbally threatened the female officer, saying, “I just want to go home, dude. I just my kid like California. I don’t want to be here anymore.” She also expressed, “I don’t want to go anywhere without him. Don’t touch I don’t want to go anywhere without him.”
Case Resolution
The subject was booked and processed at the county jail. Court records later indicated that all three charges—public intoxication, resisting arrest, and retaliation for a past action—were dismissed, and the case was closed.
