“I had to laugh,” he said, “and it hurt to laugh.” O’Donnell said a Farmington police lieutenant who was with him in the emergency room asked for all to hear, “So you’re saying he broke his ass?” For the rest of his life, however, he will have a screw in his sacrum, the triangular bone between the hips and just above the tailbone.
He is on the mend, walking with a slow shuffle and able to hold his baby daughter and toddler son. O’Donnell had a second surgery to repair his smashed pelvis on Tuesday. “When the detectives told me they had the guy, I didn’t care about that night from then on,” the married father of two young children said.
O’Donnell said the incident is behind him, and he is looking toward resuming patrol duty in March.
