An Akron man has been indicted on charges that he crashed into several Cuyahoga Falls police vehicles and seriously injured one officer.
A Summit County grand jury indicted Donald Watson, 46, of Cutler Parkway, on charges of attempted murder, felonious assault, aggravated arson, failure to comply with the order of a police officer, vandalism, and criminal damaging.
Police say Watson intentionally crashed into three parked patrol cars July 23, then fled and crashed into Falls officer Ted Davis’ car, landing them both in the hospital.
Davis, an 11-year veteran of the department, remained in the hospital for a week and then began rehabilitation.
Watson also is accused of starting a fire at his Akron home.
He is scheduled to be arraigned in Summit County Common Pleas Court at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
