HUNTER TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FOLLOWING VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON PLATEAU ROAD

Cumberland County deputies responded to a vehicle accident on the 900 block of Plateau Road late Saturday. They found the driver, 40-year-old Nathan Nathaniel Hunter of Crossville, still in the automobile uninjured. Dispatch told law enforcement the his driver’s license was revoked from a previous DUI conviction. Hunter reportedly told law enforcement he slid off the road after running into an ice patch but no evidence of that was found. Hunter allegedly failed a field sobriety test and a search reportedly revealed a substance believed to be meth. He was arrested for manufacture, sale and delivery of meth, DUI and violation of the implied consent law.
While at the jail intake, Hunter supposedly attempted to grab one of the officers taser. He quickly released his grip on the weapon and was taken to a pod in the facility.
