    Semi driver fled, then turned around and hit, killed Santaquin officer, police say

    Southern Utah County, Utah. Closed NB I-15 6+ hours.....

    It appears this guy has definitely had history and may have been a wanted man.... Don't always trust the news..... But definitely makes me wonder who he was working for and why he's still driving? Id assume from supposedly previous history of trying to run down officers in the Midwest that whatever company he was driving for them would have known..... And somehow the new company didn't find out? Maybe he's O/O. But this seems like a mind that wouldn't be able to keep his business going...... Sad and more questions as always. Was impressed by how far he got before they stopped him in timeline..... Roughly 3 hrs away from incident.

    Apparently he has previously been convicted of multiple serious felonies. If you read the timeline near the end of the article, he was out committing more serious felonies while he should have been in prison if he had served even half time the time he was sentenced to. I'm tired of the crazies, and I'm even more tired of the system that can't keep them locked up after they've been convicted multiple times.

    In Utah he will have a choice of firing squad or lethal injection.

    I’m trying to figure out the first sentences in the story. How someone was standing on the back of semi trailer as it was moving north. Did the perp hi jack truck hollywood style by climbing in from the outside or was that the real driver or possibly chuck norris as his stunt double trying to get his truck back from perp who jumped in and started to drive off while driver was outside?

    I'm surprised he was considered insurable - or hirable. Who TF thought it would be a good idea to put that guy behind the wheel of an 80,000 lb truck and turn him loose?!?


    If he chooses the former I'll buy the ammo.


    Maybe ol' Jim Adler "The Texas Hammer" was filming his next commercial. :rolleyes:

    Yes and T.J.H was driving the truck while dialing all 4’s on his Million dollar Rolex wristwatch phone.

    I wonder if they did a procession for that autistic kid the cops shot in slc a few years ago. (It's effed up beyond belief this has happened more than once)

    I was trying to figure this out, too. I surmise that Jayne was hitching a ride on the rear of a tractor's trailer, and at some point, hijacked the tractor, and the drove towards officers.

    The failure of these reporters to learn correct terminology is rampant. It's like they have never left their apartment.
