A man attempting to flee law enforcement officers died Saturday after he struck a Polk County sheriff’s deputy with his vehicle, which was then fired at by a Mena police officer, the Arkansas State Police said in a news release.
A Polk County deputy attempted to arrest 27-year-old Joseph Gonzalez of Cove at a restaurant at 1317 US 71 S. in Mena, the address for Papa’s Mexican Cafe, because he was “wanted for outstanding warrants out of Texas,” the state police said in the release on Monday. The release didn’t specify the nature of the warrants or time of day
