A Perry man awaiting trial on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges was arrested on a Dallas County warrant Friday after he crashed his truck in Boone County earlier this month.
Derrick Lynn Sandy, 55, of 13647 Patridge Trail, Perry, was first arrested in January 2022 and is charged with second-degree kidnapping, willful injury causing serious injury, assault while participating in a felony, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, first-degree harassment, false imprisonment, third-degree criminal mischief and obstruction of emergency communications.
Sandy’s pretrial release order was revoked Nov. 6, and a warrant for his arrest was served Nov. 15 after he “was involved in a single-vehicle crash in Boone County” on Nov. 5, according to court records.
Sandy was charged in Boone County with leaving the scene, failure to maintain control and not having interlock in the vehicle after law enforcement officers at the crash site “observed an empty bottle of vodka and another partially consumed bottle of vodka in the vehicle” but no trace of Sandy, according to court records.
Sandy is held in the Dallas County Jail on a $500,000 cash-only bond in advance of an appearance in Dallas County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
