The charges stem from the death of his daughter, 30-year-old Kimberly Means.
As News Center 7 previously reported, Kimberly was found dead in her S. Barron Street apartment in Eaton in July 2023 after police responded to reports of a possible drug overdose there.
Steven is accused of providing Kimberly with the drugs that killed her and her unborn child.
He faces up to 36 months in prison and a $10,000 fine for each count of reckless homicide that he pleaded to. He’s scheduled to be sentenced next month.
