No one was hurt in either of those crashes. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Finally, the fourth wreck happened around 6:10 a.m. where Ortiz allegedly rear-ended the back of a black Phoenix PD pickup truck that resulted in minor injuries. It\u2019s unclear if any officers were hurt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Ortiz was booked into the Maricopa County jail.
