Demory crash results in indictment for Kulas
CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN. (WLAF)- A June car crash has resulted in a lengthy indictment for a Knoxville woman. On June 9, Whitney A. Kulas, 4217 Platinum Dr., Knoxville, crashed into a man on Demory Road, according to the report.
In the late hours of June 9, Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper James Andrew Roark was dispatched to Demory Road at Housley Road where he found a “violent head on collision crash,” court records said. He then saw Kulas in an agitated stated. She was allegedly “violently screaming, crying, sweating, talking to herself and wanting to constantly smoke her vape,” the report said.
Kulas was identified by the trooper as the at fault driver in the crash.
She allegedly smelled like alcohol and admitted she had “too much to drink” at a local marina. Kulas allegedly told police she didn’t remember leaving the marina.
Her “behavior and violent tendencies” precluded any field sobriety tests. Kulas had a number of emotional responses, such as crying, belligerence, profanity and laughter, as Roark interacted with her, court records said. Then she laid down on her stomach in the back of the police car.
In the meantime, the driver of the other car was taken to UT Medical Center for “serious lower extremity injuries.”
The results of a blood alcohol test revealed the level of alcohol in Kulas’ blood at the time of the crash was .15, court records said.
Earlier this month, Kulas was indicted by a Campbell County Grand Jury. Kulas was indicted on two counts of vehicular assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular assault, first offense DUI, DUI per se and consideration of prior misdemeanors. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED 11/10/2026-6AM)
