Tennessee Senator Ken Yager Arrested for DUI

Tennessee State Senator Ken Yager, 77, was arrested in Georgia on charges of DUI, hit-and-run, and failure to stop at a stop sign. The incident occurred on Jekyll Island, where Yager was found after a vehicle matching his description was reported in a hit-and-run. Authorities detected a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, and he admitted to being involved in the crash, later consenting to sobriety tests. Yager was booked into the Glynn County Detention Center and posted a bond of over $2,100 before being released. He has served in the Tennessee Senate since 2008 and is currently the chairman of the Senate Republican Caucus. The investigation into the hit-and-run is ongoing.
