41-year-old Clifton Cunningham was charged with driving under the influence after his vehicle left the roadway on Peachers Mill Road where he was found unresponsive and required emergency medical personnel to administer Narcan.
On March 23th, Officer Jackson responded to 710 Peachers Mill Road where Clifton Cunningham had departed the roadway in the Lincoln Navigator he was driving. Emergency medical services and fire response arrived first to the scene where they found Cunningham unresponsive in the driver’s seat and administered Narcan. His reaction to the Narcan implied that he was in fact under the influence of an opioid.
No vehicular damage or physical injury was sustained and Cunningham was taken to Tennova Medical Center for treatment and evaluation. During the inventory for towing, a prescription bottle was observed in the cupholder. Closer inspection of the bottle revealed it was Alprazolam prescribed to Cunningham on March 20th and contained only 53 pills when it was meant to contain 90 pills. Alprazolam is better known by the brand name Xanax.
Clifton Cunningham was arrested charged with driving under the influence (4th offense). His bond was set at $100,000.
