Police: Pantless Brentwood man found in bushes faces DUI charge

Franklin police on the lookout for a reckless driver Monday night came across a different sight altogether — a pantless Brentwood man in the bushes.

Franklin police dispatchers received a call around 11 p.m. Monday about a reckless driver on Highway 96 West. An officer patrolling the area discovered an abandoned vehicle facing the wrong direction on the shoulder of the highway near Glass Street.

Police then found James Scott, 44, behind a nearby bush wearing no pants and no shoes.

Scott was charged with driving under the influence and violation of the implied consent law. He is free on a $7,500 bond and due in court at 1 p.m. July 2.
