A severed human torso reportedly turned up in a Tennessee man's
crashed car after an attempted traffic stop on Sunday. Now,
Dorrae Debrice Johnson of Knoxville faces several charges
including vehicular homicide.
Johnson, 29, was stopped by an officer around 3:30 a.m. Sunday
after he failed to stay in his lane on an interstate, WATE
reported citing arrest records.
Johnson yelled out the window that he had to get to his familys
house and sped off as the officer was walking towards his car,
which prompted a chase, the station reported.
The officer reportedly saw Johnson hit a curb, then blow a tire
while allegedly driving the wrong way on the road. He ultimately
rammed into a utility pole, the report added.

Johnson got out of the vehicle and started running but the
officer caught up with him and arrested him, according to the
report, which stated that the trooper noticed he smelled of
alcohol and had watery, bloodshot eyes.
Johnson admitted he was blitzed, WATE reported.
When the trooper went to turn off the ignition of Johnsons car,
the trooper spotted the severed torso in the passenger
floorboard, with a missing lower half, the media outlet reported.
The trooper found the rest of the victims body at the scene of
impact. Investigators reportedly said the severed torso likely
belonged to a man whom Johnson had hit and killed on the road.
Johnson was booked on Sunday and also was charged with driving
with a revoked license and evading arrest, according to online
records with the Knox County Sheriffs Office.
