The suspect drove toward Wells as he was stationary in the roadway. The officer fired one round at the suspect’s vehicle, but the suspect was not struck. The suspect’s vehicle struck both Wells and his motorcycle, police say. After the impact, the suspect vehicle came to rest on the side of the road.
Police arrested 24-year-old Garrett Trammell and he was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on multiple charges.
The Edmond Police Department said Wells was in critical condition following the collision and that he will face a long recovery process. Sunday, Edmond police held a prayer vigil outside the police department and asked for the community’s continued support for Wells and his family.
