An Oklahoma man was arrested after he allegedly drove his vehicle into a patrol vehicle driven by Holbrook Police Chief Mark Jackson on Monday, Jan. 9.
According the Department of Public Safety, at 11:57 a.m. on Jan. 9, Todd Hansel, 22, of Sharon, Okla., was driving a 2000 Ford Ranger south on Navajo Blvd. when he turned left, crossed into the northbound lane and struck the 2017 Dodge Ram driven by Chief Jackson. Jackson was traveling north on Navajo Blvd. near the Iowa Street intersection when the collision occurred.
The patrol vehicle sustained extensive damage and Chief Jackson was transported from the scene to Flagstaff Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. He was released later that day.
Hansel was booked into Navajo County Jail on charges of aggravated assault, DUI and criminal damage.
DPS is handling the investigation, which is still ongoing.
