They were taken to Ogden where they were booked into the Weber county jail. They were arraigned Monday and were being held in lieu of bail Wednesday. Formal assault charges against Slocum were filed Tuesday in a complaint signed by Detective Karl DeRyke of the Brigham City police. Kozak remembered his thoughts prior to being hit were to get out from behind the patrol car. I made a dash to the west and came to in the room," he said. It was a while before he was able to determine that all the people at his viewing were fellow officers from all county agencies anxious to learn of his condition. His father, Nick Kozak, stood .close by while the examination was made. It was found he had bones broken in both legs below the knees, broken ribs and spurs on his vertebrae, numerous cuts on his arms, back and hands and severe abrasions on his face. ' Despite all, he soon was able to joke with the steady stream of visitors to his room. Kozak isnt interested in giving up his police career of five years. This doesnt change my feelings about police work, he said, but the incident did make him angry. "I feel that it wasnt a traffic accident, I think it was intentional. They saw me standing in their way with a shotgun and' thought their best way out was to take me down, stated Kozak. s The officer wont be seeing duty for a while, obviously, but he could be the first patient admitted to the new Brigham City Community hospital when it begins accepting patients Saturday, a honor he might think is dubious. He has resigned himself, however, to several days of bed rest before hes released, noting his hospitalization is the first in his life since I was bom." o Red Cross. The Good Neighbor. , , : f.

At the same time, the board announced employment of a new assistant librarian and conveyed some of its previous responsibilities to Librarian Karen How- Car Stopped Lemmon said one northbound car had stopped at the roadblock when he viewed the suspects truck. We were hardly set up and it was there, he said. Officers said the truck, attempting to avoid the waiting police, veered west to the left and went into the broadslide, heading , at Stiver's car. At this time, Kozak said he felt the truck was going to ram the vehicle and began to run west away from it. That was when the truck, traveling an estimated 55 miles an hour, hit him. Impact ejected a live round from his shotgun, it was found later. Reports differ somewhat as to what happened, but the left side of the four- wheel-drive truck struck the officer. Lemmon said impact threw Kozak into the air, tangling him in a net and barbed wire fence some eight feet from highway. The truck continued off the road to the west, airborne, striking two large stumps that brought it to an abrupt halt just a few feet away from a frame house. Jumped Out The occupants of the truck jumped out in the dust and confusion and ran through an orchard to the southwest, with a number of police'officers in pursuit. I thought he was dead, said Lemmon. I jumped over his body and started In pursuit of the two guys and he was just laying there. Stiver gave chase briefly, but returned to the side of his companion to give first aid. The injured officer was unconscious and after Stiver was able to bandage some df the wounds and stop bleeding, Kozak was transported to Cooley hospital by Brigham City ambulance. Kozak remembers nothing of the time between his running to get out of the way and waking up in the department. I thought I was dead and ail the people there were at my viewing, he said Tuesday.
