Dallas police officer killed: 31-year-old woman charged with intoxication manslaughter

DALLAS - Dallas police have charged Mayra Rebollar with intoxication manslaughter in connection to the fatal crash on Tuesday night that killed Dallas police officer Jacob Arellano.

Police said Rebollar was traveling in the wrong direction on Spur 408 near Kiest Boulevard in south Dallas when she crashed into Arellano's SUV while he was driving to work. The crash pushed the Arellano's SUV into oncoming traffic. It was then hit by an 18-wheeler and rolled several times.

The 25-year-old officer died the next day at the hospital.

Rebollar is still hospitalized and has not been arraigned on the charge.

On Friday, police escorted Arellano's body from the Medical Examiner's office to Restland Funeral Home on Greenville Avenue.

The procession was done to honor his service and bring comfort to his family.

"We had a lot of fun, we did… and it’s hard," Jacob’s uncle, Antonio Arellano, said.

He spoke with FOX 4’s sister station in El Paso, KFOX.

"I was fixing to call Jacob.. which I didn’t," he recalled. "The last time I spoke.. I told him that I loved him."

Mourners have stopped by the Northwest Patrol Division to place flowers on one of the patrol cars Officer Arellano would drive.

"He worked his ass, you know, to be in that position and he was a loved, caring person," Antonio added.

Arellano leaves behind a girlfriend and infant son, parents and a twin brother, who is also a Dallas police officer.

Funeral arrangements for Arellano are in the works.

Tributes are pouring in across the state.

Socorro High School in El Paso, where Jacob was a standout football player, held a moment of silence ahead of its game Thursday night.

A state remembering a young officer and father gone too soon.

"He’s an angel now," his uncle said,
