Nathan Stephens is into fitness and bluegrass. He doesn’t drink. But after a teenager backed into him in his neighborhood, a local cop with the Grayson (Kentucky) Police Department accuses him of being drunk – which he wasn’t. Nathan takes a breathalyzer test and passes. He blows a 0.00 – no alcohol in his system. He then performs the field sobriety tests and passes (which the officer admits). Yet somehow, Nathan still gets arrested for DUI and is taken to jail. How does that even happen?

A sober man, who was actually a retired deputy suffering a diabetic crisis, was arrested for DUI by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The worst part about it is, this wasn’t just a mistake where a cop mistook a diabetic crisis for a driver being drunk. Brand new bodycam footage, given to me by the man’s lawyer, shows that this innocent man, Elmer Binkley, was arrested only after this 25 year old trooper (Ryan Nichols) learned that the man was suffering a diabetic crisis. He discovered the man was sober, and yet he arrested him anyway.

The lawsuit:
