Dallas Police Officer Jacob Arellano, who was on his way to work at the time of the crash, was found in the driver’s seat of his SUV.

Details of his head injuries are too gruesome to share. He was pronounced dead a few hours later.

On Monday, police officially booked Mayra Rebollar, 31, into the Dallas County jail on Monday via a remote hearing and charged her with intoxication manslaughter for the death of Officer Arrellano.
