SAN ANGELO, TX- Joshua Joseph Corfield has been indicted by a TOM GREEN COUNTY grand jury on intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle in February 2021.
On December 14th, 2020, north of San Angelo, a pickup being driven by Corfield struck farm equipment that was being towed on the highway.
Corfield was transported to Shannon Hospital prior to DPS Units arrival. Brett Mohler, a co-worker and passenger in the pickup, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Multiple alcoholic beverage containers were found inside the vehicle.
DPS Troopers made contact with Corfield at his residence after he declined treatment and left the hospital. He was taken into custody to perform an HGN test. Corfield displayed 6 of 6 clues for intoxication.
Corfield was unsteady on his feet, was slurring his words, and had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person. He claimed that he went to a local gas station and purchased and drank 2 bottles of wine but video evidence disproved this.
A warrant was issued for Joshua Corfield on December 22nd, 2020 and he was booked on December 23rd, 2020. Corfield posted a $30,000.00 bond on the 24th of December.
