SERGEANT JONATHAN DRAGUS

October 20, 2005

Shortly before 3:00 a.m. Sgt. Dragus attempted to make a traffic stop of a stolen motorcycle near N.W. 3rd and Meridian.  The motorcycle fled at a high rate of speed, initiating a police pursuit.  The pursuit went through northwest Oklahoma City to the intersection of N.W. Expressway and Pennsylvania.  As Sgt. Dragus approached the intersection, a truck began to enter the intersection.  Sgt. Dragus swerved and lost control of his patrol car and crashed into a tree.  Sgt. Dragus was transported to OU Medical Center where he died later that morning.  The rider of the motorcycle was later arrested.
