A Nashville-area man was arrested for felony reckless endangerment, but not because he was intoxicated:

A Rutherford County deputy says he stopped a man who was driving erratically on Route 840 and may have found the reason for his distraction.

The officer says David Kennedy of Old Hickory in neighboring Davidson County had several pornographic magazines on the seat next to him. He charged the 33-year-old Kennedy with felony reckless endangerment.

A woman who reported Kennedy nearly ran her off the road several times Friday called police, then followed Kennedy to the Rutherford-Wilson County line where Deputy Tony Hall arrested him.

The old drinking rule definitely applies: if you can’t walk, definitely don’t get behind the wheel.

This incident makes it clear that there are other things unsafe to do while driving than talking on a cell phone…
