According to sources, Santana reportedly walked into a hotel to use the phone and that's when someone inside called the police.

Santana took off but was hit with an officer's patrol car and apprehended.

The officer in his 20s is now in serious condition at a Springfield hospital. 

The network, Advocating Against Domestic Violence says Lopez had an order of protection against Santana.
