PHOENIX, AZ – A Phoenix police officer pleaded not guilty in connection with an injury crash that happened in March.
AzFamily said the officer pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and endangerment charges before a court hearing on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
The officer, identified as Joshua Allen Woodcock, was reportedly driving at a rate of 86 to 89 mph in a 35 mph zone when he crashed into a Honda sedan traveling at 72mph. The crash occurred near Buckeye Road and I-17 Black Canyon Access Road.
