24-year-old Billy Heggie was stopped in his Ford Ranger on University Avenue on August 24th after officers observed him driving with two white taillights. When officers approached Heggie and told him the reason for the stop, they reported that he was displaying signs of intoxication. Once Heggie was asked about it, he admitted that he had a beer before he started driving. Heggie consented to perform field sobriety tests and showed signs of impairment, so he was taken into custody.
Officers then read Heggie implied consent, and he declined to provide any chemical testing. During an arrest search of Heggie’s vehicle, officers found a Rock Island Armory 1911 and a North American Arms revolver. Heggie was later transported to booking and charged with possession of a handgun while under the influence, implied consent violation, and driving under the influence.
Billy Ray Heggie of Ed Burgess Road in Ashland City, TN, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on August 28th, charged with possession of a handgun while under the influence, driving under the influence and an implied consent violation. A judicial commissioner set his bond $5,000.
