Upon their arrival, they discovered that Deidre Steele had been assaulted and taken against her by her son Dallas Steele.
Chapman said Deidre informed him of the events that morning where her son Dallas demanded she give him her vehicle keys but she refused to do so. Dallas reportedly grabbed Deidre by the hair and dragged her outside, shoved her around and forced her into the driver’s seat of her car with him getting in the passenger side.
She further advised the deputy that her son told her to drive to the nearest gas station and along the way threatened to kill her multiple times, including pulling a pocket knife on her and informing her she was going to die that day.
With her being threatened, she drove to the Harrah Police Department and when she stopped, Dallas got out and left the immediate area on foot.
