GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Sarah Pence’s eyes tear up, watching a man on television who she’s never met.

That man is Jeffrey Adams, a teacher in Brentwood, who was arrested, along with two other men in 2023, for DUI. However, our investigation found all three were arrested by Officer Noah Werner, and all three were sober at the time of their arrest.

    Firstly, the article is not at all implying that Pence was impaired by her prescription medication, but I agree the part about her prescription medication should not have been mentioned at all since she was sober and unaffected by anything.

    Secondly, it’s a mistake to believe the officer’s arrest report in the first place. There is no evidence that she was “crossing over the lanes several times”, which is also why her case was dropped. American police routinely lie in their official arrest reports, it might actually even be policy in many places.

      Yep, if you want an example of that, look up the report of George Floyd’s ‘medical episode’ and then look at the actual facts.

      If you just read the report you’d think he just coincidentally got a heart attack during the arrest.
