Former state Rep. Jeremy Durham was indicted today on driving under the influence and felony charges in relation to an incident in downtown Nashville last year, NewsChannel 5 reports. An affidavit obtained by the station indicated police responded to a car accident and detained Durham after he attempted to walk away. Records show Durham repeatedly said he was a “lawyer,” while refusing a sobriety test and blood test. Officers also said they found a green metal grinder with marijuana residue. Charges include driving under the influence, felony reckless endangerment of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, drug paraphernalia and felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Durham represented Franklin from 2013 until 2016 when he was expelled after sexual misconduct allegations, reported at the time by the Tennessean.
