TN Dui charge reduced after defendant runs red light.

     Defendant was pulled over by police for running a red light,  not wearing a seatbelt, and displaying expired tags.  The police report noted that the defendant appeared to be intoxicated, had an obvious odor of alcohol, leaned against the car for support, had bloodshot/red watery eyes, refused a breath test, and showed clues of impairment on the field tests.
