Robert Todd Harrell
The bass player for the rock band 3 Doors Down was arrested on vehicular homicide charges Friday night after police say he ran another driver off Interstate 40, killing him.

According to The Nashville Tennessean, Robert Todd Harrell, 41, remained jailed Saturday evening on $100,000 bond on charges of vehicular homicide while intoxicated, drug possession, violating implied consent laws and bringing contraband into a jail, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. Harrell was a founding member of the Mississippi band, which in recent years had relocated to Nashville.

Police said Harrell was drunk and behind the wheel of his Cadillac CTS Friday night on Interstate 40 when he clipped a Ford F-150, sending it out of control. The pickup hit a guardrail, flew down an embankment and flipped over. Police said the driver of the truck, Paul Howard Shoulders Jr., 47, was thrown from the truck and later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
