On Wednesday, three individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) and the troopers who falsely arrested them for driving under the influence on the highways surrounding Nashville during the summer of 2025. In the complaint, each plaintiff offered a detailed account of their interactions with THP, their arrest and its aftermath. According to the Nashville Banner, each say they were subjected to field sobriety tests and denied or not offered breathalyzer tests before being taken into custody and required to post bond. THP was previously the focus of an investigation for arresting drivers who later tested negative for drugs and alcohol.
