INDIANA MAN RUNS DOWN AND TAKES THE LIFE OF AN OFFICER AFTER A WOMAN WAS DISCOVERED BEING HELD HOSTAGE IN HIS SLEEPER CAB. (PHOTOS).

 A Garrett, Indiana man runs down and takes the life of an officer after a woman was discovered being held hostage in his sleeper cab! 

This whole disturbing event unfolded in Utah when authorities received a 911 call stating "Hells Angels were after a semi driver and there was a person on the back of his rig."

Santaquin Police Sgt. Bill Hooser was stationed on an I-15 meridian around 6 a.m. May, 5th, when he saw the semi in question drive by. Sgt. Hooser initiated a stop. The semi driver, 42-year-old Michael Jayne, eventually pulled over after assistance from Utah Highway Patrol officer Dustin Griffiths joined the short pursuit.

Once pulled over, Mr.Jayne was uncooperative, refusing to answer questions. As Trooper Griffiths questioned Mr. Jayne, a female emerged from the sleeper cab and fled from the passenger side door. She ran up to Sgt. Hooser and asked for help informing him she was being held against her will. This is when Hooser signaled for Griffiths to take Mr. Jayne into custody.

Mr. Jayne started to drive away. As he was pulling away, both officers began to run to their vehicles. Mr. Jayne then made a sharp u-turn and began speeding towards the officers. Sgt. Hooser became aware of the oncoming semi and tried to get out of the way. Mr. Jayne however quickly changed directions, accelerated and slammed into Sgt. Hooser smashing him into the front of Trooper Griffiths' cruiser and taking his life.

The woman and Trooper Griffiths' were able to avoid injury. Mr. Jayne was able to leave the scene before abandoning his semi and fleeing on foot. He then stole multiple vehicles before police finally spotted him in an F-150 truck that had been reported as stolen.

A high speed chase ensued reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour. Troopers allege that Jayne was driving erratically and swerving towards oncoming cars. Because of this, troopers preformed a high speed PIT maneuver.  Jayne lost control and crashed. Troopers were able to take him into custody. He was taken to the hospital where he remained under heavy guard.  He has since been booked into the Utah County jail and charged with 9 felonies.  Including homicide targeting a police officer and aggravated kidnapping. Michael Jayne could face the death penalty if found guilty in the officer's death.

There is no indication whether the Hell's Angels were ever after him. Jayne and the woman were known to each other, however they were in an argument at a truck stop in Beaver, Utah and she attempted to leave. Jayne then forced her back in the truck using a blade and bear spray.
