Authorities say on August 24th, toxicology results revealed that Tucker’s blood alcohol concentration was above the legal limit, which promoted the charges against him being upgraded.

Tucker is currently in custody.

The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
