Daren Brewer, the CEO of transportation technology company Carrier411, was arrested by Chattanooga police on February 25 and charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct after an incident at a local T-Mobile store. According to a police affidavit, Brewer allegedly returned to the store after being trespassed, stood in front of the window, and made obscene gestures, including grabbing his genitals, in front of a child customer.

Why it matters

The incident raises concerns about Brewer's conduct and the potential impact on public safety and the community. As the CEO of a prominent transportation technology company, Brewer's actions could damage the reputation of his business and raise questions about his fitness to lead.

The details

Police were first called to the T-Mobile store on Gunbarrel Road around 4:30 pm on February 25 after the manager reported that Brewer and Timothy Dooner, the former host of the "What the Truck" freight podcast, were being "rude and disorderly" and refusing to leave. The manager trespassed both men, and they exited the store. However, about 30 minutes later, the officer was called back after witnesses reported that Brewer had returned and was standing in front of the store's windows making obscene gestures, including grabbing his genitals, in front of a child customer. Multiple witnesses, including the child's mother, confirmed seeing Brewer's behavior, which they described as making them "very uncomfortable." The officer then placed Brewer under arrest for trespassing and disorderly conduct.
