A man glancing at pornography while he was driving Friday on state Route 840 was arrested for allegedly forcing other motorists off the highway, a sheriff’s deputy reported.
David Kennedy, 33, of Old Hickory was charged with felony reckless endangerment after motorist Deborah Dotson of Buckingham Drive obtained an arrest warrant against him Friday evening.
Dotson called the sheriff’s office about 4:35 p.m. to report Kennedy was driving erratically on state Route 840 near Almaville Road in western Rutherford County.
Deputy Tony Hall reported Kennedy was allegedly looking at a pornographic magazine while driving, nearly running Dotson off the road several times.
She followed Kennedy to the Rutherford-Wilson County line where Hall stopped him.
“When I made contact with the driver of the suspect vehicle, a Mr. David Kennedy, there were several pornographic magazines on the seat next to him,” Hall reported.
Dotson obtained the arrest warrant charging Kennedy with endangering her while driving. He was booked into Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. A hearing on the charge is set Feb. 22 in General Sessions Court.
