San Angelo Man Arrested for Deadly Conduct and Unlicensed Teen Crashes into Ditch

This weekend was a busy one for local law enforcement, and 53 people made their way to the Tom Green County Jail. Included in those arrests was Steven Michael Brown, 29, for outstanding warrants and deadly conduct. This is Brown’s 20^th arrest.

Officer Tracy Gonzalez, public information officer for the San Angelo Police Department, said officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of E. 42^nd St. on July 9, at around 6.45 p.m., for a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, a victim and witnesses told officers that Brown made threatening statements and movements to the victim while displaying a knife.

Officers took Brown into custody and transported him to the TGCJ where he was charged with Deadly Conduct and three outstanding warrants.

In another situation Sunday morning, a 16-year-old driving a 2008 black Lexus at a high rate of speed, and who disregarded a stop sign, hit a curb and crashed into a ditch on Bell Street and Era.

Officer Gonzalez said two witnesses, at around 3 a.m., saw the teenager traveling westbound on Era at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred. However, the teenager told officers he was heading to the store. He said he tried to hit the brakes, but was unable to stop.
