Sean Steadman

On Wednesday October 4th, 2023 Cleveland County Deputy Sean Steadman was working highway interdiction on I35 as part of his duties with the District 21 Drug and Violent Crime Task Force. Sean attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle which began a short pursuit. Sean was able to get the vehicle stopped and was engaged immediately by a violent felon. Sean was struck twice by the suspects bullets in the gun battle. In the face and shoulder. Sean was flown to a level 1 trauma center in OKC and is expected to recover from his wounds. However his recovery expected to be long and painful. At this time it is unknown how long until Sean can return to work and at what capacity that will be. Sean has 3 wonderful children and a beautiful wife to support and while he is off he will not be able to work the off duty and overtime that he normally does. Please consider helping Sean out if possible. Thank you and God Bless you!
