Steven Sahlstrom

Vehic/Purs

Steven Sahlstrom was killed when his ATV was struck by a 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck fleeing police. According to police, plainclothes officers saw Householder near a room at the Sixpenny Inn "where drug deals occur" just before midnight. Householder got in his truck and the officers, who'd put on "raid jackets" identifying them as police, approached. Householder allegedly refused to roll down his window or open the door, and then drove off. Householder hit Sahlstrom's ATV from behind, throwing Sahlstrom into a field. Police contended they weren't in pursuit, and that they were looking for Householder when they saw the crash. Householder, 34, was charged with possession of "a very small amount" of cocaine.
