Steven Lee (Source: San Augustine County Jail)SAN AUGUSTINE COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
Editor's Note: The story on Steven Lynn Lee that appeared on the KTRE
Web site on Sept. 17 incorrectly stated that Lee kicked in the door of the
residence of a man who had filed a personal injury lawsuit against him in
connection to an auto accident. A corrected version of the story is below.
San Augustine
County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 40-year-old Nacogdoches man and charged
him with driving while intoxicated, obstruction of justice, and assault after he allegedly paid a visit
to the Broaddus residence of a man who filed a personal injury lawsuit against
him.
As of
Thursday, Steven Lynn Lee, 40, of Nacogdoches, had been released from the San
Augustine County Jail. He was charged with obstruction of justice, assault, and
DWI, and his collective bond for the two misdemeanors and one felony was
$11,000.
SACSO
deputies responded to a disturbance call at a residence in Broaddus early in
the morning of Sept. 16, Cunningham said.
While on their way to the scene, they encountered a vehicle connected to the
disturbance incident. Lee, the driver, was allegedly found to be driving while
intoxicated.
According to
police reports, Lee allegedly had permission to enter the Broaddus home of a
man who had previously filed a personal injury lawsuit against him in connection
to an auto accident.
Cunningham
said the assault charge stems from the fact that Lee allegedly went into the
man's bedroom, woke him up, and felt of his feet to see if he really was
paralyzed. In addition, he said even though the details are sketchy on whether
or not the act was intentional, Lee allegedly struck the man's wife on the chin
while he was there.
