Knox County Sheriff

Steven D. Steelman, Jr, of Knoxville who was arrested for vehicular homicide and DUI Sunday afternoon, is in the Roger D. Wilson Facility Tuesday evening.  Judge Patricia Long upped the charge to aggravated vehicular homicide and increased his bond to $230,000.  He bonded out yesterday morning on a $39,000 bond.  He was taken into custody Tuesday around 2 p.m.

The incident occurred Sunday shortly after noon when Steelman’s car slid across West Beaver Creek hitting a utility pole and a tree.  He told officers he was attempting to avoid another vehicle.

He also stated that he had consumed approximately a half gallon of moonshine and had been consuming drugs prior to driving the car.

According to the report, he was unsteady on his feet, had watery, red blood shot eyes, a slurred speech, and an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person and breath.  A records check showed that Steelman was driving on a revoked license for a previous DUI conviction.  He consented to a field sobriety test and officers stated that he performed poorly.  He also consented to have a sample of his blood tested for alcohol.

Steelman’s 10 year old son, Steven Steelman III, was riding in the passenger’s side of the car and was pronounced dead at U.T. Medical Center.  Steelman’s 11 year old nephew was also injured and transported to U.T. for treatment.
