Because Pence had her charge expunged, the body camera footage of her arrest is no longer available. But her public defender did watch the footage, and wrote in an email to prosecutors that Pence, “…appeared to do very well watching BWC (body worn camera) footage. I honestly wouldn’t perform as well as Ms. Pence did on my best sober day.”

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.

    No, that’s absolutely the case here too. DUI means “driving under the influence” of anything, not just alcohol. There are tons of perfectly fine prescriptions that a doctor might order you to take that you absolutely should not drive while taking.

    I think the catch-22 comes with how necessary driving is to do literally anything in America, so many people have to choose between their health, their jobs/social life, and/or not endangering their lives and others’ by driving on said prescriptions.
