SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The San Diego Police identified Monday the man who they say drove at a vehicle and the officer who shot him in the arm in Kearny Mesa.
Officer Jarrel Davis was one of two officers who made contact with Jason Santana and Marco Huerta while they were in a car drinking alcohol in the parking lot of the Kearny Mesa Recreation Center last Wednesday, police said.
A DMV records check showed the car was stolen, according to police. The officers tried to arrest Santana but said he backed his vehicle into them.
