Man arrested after plowing into police car

An Irvine man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after driving into a police car early Saturday morning.

Jeremiah Bautista, 26, collided with a marked patrol car around 1 a.m. near the intersection of Newport and Harbor boulevards.

He was unhurt in the collision, but the officer driving the car sustained minor neck injuries and underwent treatment at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.

Sgt. Mark Manley said the officer was back at work by the end of Saturday.

Bautista was arrested at the scene and transferred later in the day to Orange County Jail.
