Man crashes truck into jail gate

A man is in the Dallas County jail after crashing his truck into a security gate.

It happened around 1 a.m. Tuesday near the back of the facility. The man first claimed people were trying to kill him, but later admitted being on drugs.

Everett Clayton, 47, was arrested for criminal mischief.

The damages to the gate should not affect normal jail operations, but deputies will monitor it until the damage is repaired.
