Full Notification

Palmdale Sheriff's Station deputies responded to a possible burglary, man with a gun call at 3:24AM on Saturday, in the area of Casa Verde Drive and Avenue S, Palmdale.

While en route to the call, deputies parked their vehicles along the west side of Casa Verde Drive and Avenue S, to quickly pre-plan their tactics in response to the call.

During that time, a 2006 Mitsubishi driven by Jose Aguilar, 19, from the city of Palmdale, failed to stop at the stop sign and broadsided the driver's side of a parked sheriff’s patrol car with a deputy seated behind the steering wheel.

The Mitsubishi struck the driver’s side of the patrol car at approximately 35mph. Los Angeles County Firefighters responded to the scene and used a hydraulic equipment to extricate the injured deputy from the wreckage.

The deputy was taken to a local hospital where he is undergoing treatment for his injuries. The deputy’s injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Suspect Aguilar was given a Field Sobriety Test, which he failed. He was arrested for Felony Driving Under the Influence. The suspect sustained minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital. The suspect was booked at Palmdale Station with a bail amount of $100,000.

Suspect Aguilar was not connected to the original November 12, 2011, call.

The original call was later determined that a burglary did not occur but a prowler was possibly at the location. The suspect was not at the residence when deputies arrived.
