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.

    So she might have been barred out, but it’s okay because a doctor prescribed it? I’m not sure how the US works, but in Sweden, if my doctor prescribes me Xanax and it makes me so impaired

    No, she was not. Nowhere was that implied and the article even stated the drugs in her system were “within the legal range”, meaning she was clearly taking them as prescribed. These kinds of drugs do not impair an individual’s ability to drive, either.

    Your comment makes an absolutely ridiculous baseless claim. It’s infuriating. It’s insulting to anyone who has to take these prescriptions to live their life.
