KNOX COUNTY — The Knox County Grand Jury released a report this month stating it did not find sufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges in connection with the death of Todd St. John.

The investigation originated from a July 25 fatal accident involving Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Ashurst, 39, who had attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a side-by-side that was traveling on the roadway. According to initial reports from KSP, the deputy’s vehicle and the side-by-side collided during the attempt.
