Tennessee Senator Yager's DUI Arrest Details Emerge

News summary

Tennessee State Senator Ken Yager was arrested on charges of DUI and hit-and-run while on vacation in Jekyll Island, Georgia. Video evidence suggests that Yager, chair of the Tennessee Senate Republican Caucus, urinated on himself during a field sobriety test conducted by Georgia State Patrol troopers. The senator admitted to having consumed wine earlier in the day, and a breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.14%. Yager was booked on multiple charges including failure to stop at a stop sign and was released on a $2,117 bond. He expressed regret over the 'unfortunate incident' and committed to cooperating with authorities. The arrest could potentially impact his position as Senate Republican Caucus chairman if he is indicted.
