Jon Heard arrested in connection with crash that injured Dallas officer 

DALLAS, TX – A 24-year-old man, identified as Jon Heard, was arrested in connection with a crash that injured a Dallas police officer on Monday. 

The incident happened around 3 a.m. on the 3100th block of northbound North Stemmons Freeway. According to WFAA, the police officer was responding to the scene of a separate traffic accident and was still inside his car when he was struck by a vehicle said to have been driven by Heard. 

The police officer was left with unspecified injuries and was rushed to a hospital, where he is listed in stable condition. 

Heard has since been charged with Traffic Violation-Passing Emergency Vehicles Causing Bodily Injury, a Class A misdemeanor. The source said a bond has not been set for Heard.
