FRANKLIN, Tenn. -
A Franklin man arrested over the summer for hitting a bar employee
with his car has been charged with vehicular homicide following a fatal crash
last week that claimed the life of a Virginia man.
The crash happened just before 5 p.m. last Wednesday on Franklin
Road near South Berry's Chapel Road.
Thomas Schlapman was pronounced dead at Williamson Medical Center
after Franklin police said Gregory Powers crossed the center line and struck
the motorcycle Schlapman was driving, head-on.
Powers, charged with vehicular homicide and failure to maintain a
lane, remains in the Williamson County jail on a $250,000 bond.
Investigators believe that Powers, 46, was impaired at the time of
the crash and are awaiting the return of blood alcohol test results.
Charges may be added or amended, police said.
At the time of the crash, Powers was out on bond for a DUI and vehicular assault charge case filed in July.
According to police, Powers was told to leave
The Pond because he was too impaired. As he left the parking lot, he struck an
employee who tried to stop him with his car.
