On Wednesday, September 3, around 11:50 p.m., Officer DeVonte Spratt turned northbound onto Olive Street after completing a traffic stop near Tucker Drive. A southbound vehicle, driven by 19-year-old Jesus Briano, slid across the center line, striking Spratt's patrol vehicle head-on. Airbags were deployed in both vehicles. Briano suffered minor injuries but declined medical treatment. Officer Spratt was evaluated for a hand injury. While speaking with Briano, officers detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage and observed Briano to be unstable on his feet and slurring his words. Briano declined sobriety tests but was transported to the hospital for a blood draw and medical clearance. He was ultimately transported to the St. Joseph County Jail.
