As the long-time spokesman for Elvis Presley Enterprises, Todd Morgan
has been in the newspaper about 180 times since the early 1990s.
But this time it's different.
Collierville Police arrested the disoriented 44-year-old Sunday night
on a charge of driving under the influence after he wrecked his car,
according to a police report.
"Mr. Morgan did not know where he was or how he got there," the
report states.
The Presley Enterprises director of media and creative development
registered a .243 on the breathalyzer, the report states.
The maximum allowable blood alcohol content in Tennessee is .08.
Police found Morgan and his damaged Toyota Avalon at Byhalia Road and
Polo Run at 9:53 p.m.
"Officer observed Mr. Morgan to have a strong odor of intoxicant on
or about his person, bloodshot, watery eyes and was very unsteady on
his feet," the report states.
He performed poorly on three field sobriety tests, according to the
report.
Morgan told police he had three beers at Rafferty's Restaurant at
Poplar and Perkins near his home in Memphis.
"... And could not figure out how he ended up in Collierville," the
report states.
The arrest occurred about 15 miles east of the Memphis restaurant.
Police took Morgan to jail.
The car's hood was cracked, the front fender damaged, front left tire
missing and rear left tire was flat.
But police couldn't figure out what he had hit.
"It was undetermined what location Mr. Morgan caused damage to his
vehicle," the report states.
Morgan said Tuesday that his car struck something in the road.
His arraignment in Municipal Court is scheduled for Sept. 21.
