ST. GEORGE — A rollover crash that occurred Saturday on Southern Parkway led to the arrest of a Santa Clara man, who was found to be a suspect in a previous case involving a van that was stolen from the parking lot of the jail in Washington County.
Jordan Phoenix Neal, 27, was arrested Saturday following a rollover crash on Southern Parkway reported shortly before 11 a.m. in Washington County.
Neal, the driver, reportedly told police he reached for his phone and lost control of the vehicle. The car veered off the shoulder and continued down an embankment where it rolled and landed on its side, as previously reported by St. George News.
After learning that Neal was a suspect in a previous case reported Jan. 28, in which a van was reported stolen from the parking lot of Purgatory Correctional Facility in Hurricane, officers arrested him. They then notified the detective handling the felony theft case that Neal was in custody, according to charging documents filed in the 5th District Court.
