() A man has been arrested in Arizona for allegedly driving his truck into a police station gate twice in less than a month.
Officers with the Glendale Police Department, along with a K-9, arrested 35-year-old Alberto Jaquez Rojas outside a local Applebee’s.
A video posted to the department’s Facebook page Wednesday shows a truck driving toward the closed gate, turning around and then backing into the gate with speed. The first incident was Feb. 28.
The video also shows the truck driving straight into the closed gate on March 20. The same day, the city’s roadway cameras recorded Rojas’ truck leaving the scene, allowing police to locate the driver.
City cameras show Rojas pulling into the Applebee’s parking lot and running toward the building’s entrance.
Shortly after, police bodycam footage shows at least six officers responding with guns pulled, along with a K-9 officer.
In the video, Rojas can be seen crouching into a fetal position at the foot of the restaurant’s door as the K-9 comes toward him. Someone yells, “Get him off!”
“They were able to locate and keep up with Alberto as he recklessly drove through our city,” the police department wrote on Facebook. “His actions put the lives and well-being of many people on the roadway in great danger.”
