Authorities have arrested a Hendersonville police officer for driving under the influence while he was off duty on Monday morning.
A Sumner County Sheriff’s deputy pulled over Steven Wilson after the deputy’s radar indicated he was going 104 mph on Vietnam Veterans Boulevard. After Wilson got off at the New Shackle Island Road exit, the deputy was able to pull over Wilson, the affidavit stated.
When the deputy realized it was an officer with the Hendersonville Police Department, the deputy called for the lieutenant.
Authorities said they noticed Wilson’s eyes were bloodshot, and they smelled an alcoholic odor from his vehicle. Wilson asked officers to turn off their body cameras. When deputies said no, they reported that Wilson grabbed at the body cam repeatedly. Then Wilson reportedly grabbed his car keys off the deputy’s vehicle, and he tried to return to his car.
