Metro police said they arrested a man after two would-be Uber passengers traveling in Nashville learned mid-trip not only was their driver drunk, he wasn't even a real ride-share driver.

According to an arrest affidavit, on May 4 an officer conducted a traffic stop on Milian Tesfay who was driving a Chrysler 200 on Interstate 65 near the Wedgewood Houston exit.

The affidavit goes on to state the officer could smell alcohol on the driver's breath, his eyes were bloodshot and he was speaking loud.

Two women said the driver was their Uber driver, but the driver said he was not a driver for Uber and that the women walked up to him at the Cook Out in the 1800 block of West End Avenue and asked him for a ride.

The officer said one of the women showed him their Uber app and their driver was supposed to be in a Honda Accord.

Police said Tesfay failed sobriety test and was arrested on charges of DUI and evading arrest after the officer said he pulled his arms from the front of his body and continued to move side to side while being handcuffed.
