Loudon man charged after I-40 wreck

A Loudon man is facing a driving under the influence charge after law enforcement responded Thursday to a wreck on Interstate 40.

Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Greg Walker was dispatched to a crash involving a pickup truck and tractor trailer on Interstate 40 at mile marker 367. Walker and other first responders arrived on the scene but were unable to find a wreck.

After leaving the area, Walker was notified that the pickup truck involved was at a gas station in Lenoir City. Walker responded with Lenoir City Police Lt. John Tinnel.

The driver of the pickup, Brian Scott Bevins, 50, Loudon, was found lying on his back on a flat bed trailer. When approaching Bevins, Walker smelled alcohol and there were large piles of vomit at Bevins’ feet and on his shirt. Walker tried to get Bevins up, but Bevins had to lie back down. Walker contacted paramedics to analyze Bevins’ condition. Walker was also concerned about Bevins holding his chest and sweating profusely, Walker wrote in a report.
Bevins said he had been at a restaurant drinking Michelob Ultra, where he drank 10 pints of beer, according to Walker’s report.
“There was also an empty 12-pack carton of (Michelob) Ultra behind the passenger seat in the floorboard,” Walker wrote. “There were also four tall boy cans that were found behind the driver’s seat in the floorboard empty.”
A witness said Bevins had passed him coming from Knoxville on Interstate 40 westbound. At the Interstate 75 split, Bevins wrecked and was turned around, facing in the wrong direction, Walker wrote in a report. A car hauler was also stopped with Bevins’ pickup. The witness continued on the interstate and got off at Exit 81, where he saw Bevins’ pickup and trailer come up U.S. Highway 321 from Exit 71 “dragging the trailer just by the safety chains,” Walker wrote. “The trailer came unattached from the truck, stopping in the roadway on the highway.”
The witness hooked the trailer to his truck and dragged it to the gas station where Bevins was located. Paramedics transported Bevins to Fort Loudoun Medical Center due to his intoxication level and he was arrested afterward.
Bevins was charged with driving under the influence and released on $1,000 bond.
