He’s scheduled to be arraigned May 7 in Tucson City Court.
Officer Adam Buckner, 31, was fatally injured on March 31 when his patrol car collided with another vehicle at an intersection near the University of Arizona campus, according to police.They said Buckner was responding to an emergency call with his siren on and lights flashing and had the right of way.Police said a sedan driven by Skitzki making a turn failed to yield, and the collision’s force sent Buckner’s vehicle into a traffic signal pole.
