The Glendale, Arizona, Police have released video they said shows a man in a Ford F-150 crashing into two separate police station gates.
Alberto Jaquez Rojas, 35, was charged on suspicion of committing six felonies:
• Criminal damage
• First-degree criminal trespass
• Monitor device interference
• Criminal trespass on a critical public service facility
• Criminal damage, defacing
• Attempt to commit monitor device interference
According to court documents, officers responded on March 20 to the gateway substation about someone ramming into the security gate with their vehicle before fleeing. Surveillance video footage showed a truck plow head-on into a gate, AZ Central reports.
In the video released by police of another incident on Feb. 28, footage shows a truck going in reverse and pushing the gate down. The pickup then led police on a high-speed chase before Rojas got out with a knife and tried to run at passersby, documents detailed.
On March 20, the Arizona Department of Public Safety put out an attempt to locate alert on the F-150. The truck was located at a bank parking lot.
The truck was stopped with a grappling device, according to court documents. Rojas then led plain clothes detectives on a foot chase, running south of a restaurant and trying to get inside before detectives used "less lethal launchers" and a K-9 to stop him, documents detailed.
