39-year-old Michael Sampson was caught driving under the influence after a car accident near Taco Johns on Fort Campbell Boulevard on July 20th. Officers arrived at the scene and observed at least five vehicles involved in the crash. They spoke with Sampson, the driver of one of the vehicles, and noticed the smell of alcohol on his person. Officers then noticed Sampson had slurred speech, and was unsteady on his feet.
When asked, Sampson denied consuming any illegal substances or alcohol. Sampson also refused to perform sobriety tests. Sampson was detained and taken to Sango ER for a blood test. Sampson initially refused, saying his blood was “dirty” and that he was not providing blood. However, Sampson eventually complied after more officers arrived and warned him of additional charges. Sampson was then taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence.
