When he approached Kern, he asked if Kern had been drinking, and he replied no but said that his passenger had been drinking because they had just come from a party. He said they were going to Hopkinsville, Kentucky but officers noted they were heading east on I-24 toward Nashville. Kern was then asked to perform three field sobriety tests, in which he failed all three. Kern was taken into custody and charged with failure to maintain a lane and driving under the influence.
Trey James Kern of Pleasant Grover Road in Crofton, KY, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on December 9th, charged with improper lane use and dui. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $3,000.
