HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) -- Authorities have arrested a Hendersonville police officer for driving under the influence while he was off duty.

A Sumner County Sheriff's Officer deputy pulled over Steven Wilson after the deputy's radar indicated 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 back to his car.

The affidavit indicated deputies then struggled with Wilson to retrain him but weren't able to place handcuffs on him. A Hendersonville Police Department also arrived to the scene to help restrain and handcuff Wilson.

Wilson denied having his blood drawn, but a search warrant was then executed for a blood draw. Officers later found unopened White Claws and unopened bottles of Jack Daniels in Wilson's vehicle.

Officers said that Wilson made suicidal comments during the traffic stop and while in jail.

Wilson was charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest, assault on emergency personnel and speeding.
