Police Officer Charged with Tennessee DUI in Nashville

Officer suspected of driving under the influence in Tennessee, having wreck and fleeing scene.

Metro Nashville police officer Stephanie Callahan has been charged with Tennessee DUI following an incident last Sunday night. Callahan wrecked her Ford Explorer while trying to make a turn and then drove away without notifying the property owner of damage. A fellow officer responding to the crash scene reportedly contacted Callahan and had her return.

Callahan admitted to being the driver of the vehicle at the time of the accident. A breath test revealed a blood alcohol content about twice the legal limit for drunk driving in Tennessee.

Callahan graduated from the police academy less than two weeks ago and she was undergoing field training. She has been placed on desk duty until an internal investigation has been completed.
