Morris argued a nearby car caused the crash into a guard rail near Knoxville on February 4, with State Roads Commission property damaged. State’s Attorney Price noted Morris had been drinking wine that morning. Morris's lawyer said an approaching car prompted him to pull off the highway. The judge acknowledged Morris’s clean prior record, leg injury, and three children, but upheld a jail sentence for drunken driving.
