Entertainment District And Airport Crimes FAQs

What Are Common Types Of Entertainment District And Airport Crimes In Tennessee?

Since September 11, 2001, there has been a significant increase in airport security and flight procedures to protect travelers and workers alike. The most common crimes at an airport include bringing a firearm or dangerous weapon and possessing drugs or other contraband after going through a security checkpoint. While it may be legal to conceal, carry, or possess marijuana in other states, doing so at the Nashville International Airport can lead to severe criminal penalties.

While on vacation in the city, the most common crimes committed by visitors include:

  • DUI
  • Drug crimes
  • Assault and battery
  • Shoplifting and other theft crimes
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Public intoxication

No matter what charge you’re facing, going through the Tennessee criminal justice system can prove difficult if you are not a state resident. Contact Andrew C. Beasley, PLLC, today for criminal defense and a free review of your case.

What Happens When You Are Charged With An Out-Of-State Misdemeanor?

A state must have jurisdiction to prosecute crimes that happen within its borders. This means that the state has the power to bring criminal charges against someone who has committed a crime there. This applies even if you commit the crime remotely. For example, if you buy drugs online from someone in Nashville, the state of Tennessee will still be able to prosecute you for your actions.

When Can I Return To My Home State Or Country?

You will be allowed to return to your home state or country for misdemeanors after you get out of jail. At this point, you should hire a local tourist defense lawyer such as Andrew C. Beasley to represent you for the rest of your case. You may not need to make your initial appearance in court in person—your lawyer will go on your behalf to defend you against serious allegations. 

Our skilled attorney will fight to get your case dismissed during this first court appearance. If you must return for a trial date, our tourist and airport crimes attorney can walk you through the rest of the process, which varies by case. Whether you will need a plea deal, want to fight for a dismissal, or will need to go through a bench trial, our team will work tirelessly to get you the best results possible.
