A Tennessee senator was arrested for driving under the influence after failing a field sobriety test in Georgia.

A state senator in Tennessee urinated on himself while taking a field sobriety test, according to reports and video from the incident. Sen. Ken Yager, a 77-year-old Republican representing a district in the north of his state, was pulled over by a Georgia State trooper around 5 p.m. on Tuesday on suspicion his vehicle was involved in a hit-and-run the same day.

      It’s literally in the synopsis for the post. How is that burying it?

        Maybe it depends on the app/platform but I only see titles when scrolling, so it sounded like he just got pulled over. Thus, not drawing attention to the bigger issue, which is the hit and run.

        Peeing on yourself is bad / somewhat comical, hit and run is fucked up.

          That’s exactly it and it’s not really a focus for the article either. I’m not blaming OP but the headline writers. They’re usually the problem since most people don’t read past the headline.
