OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Funeral services are scheduled Monday for an Oklahoma City police officer killed in the line of duty.

32-year-old Sergeant Jonathan Dragus died on Thursday after his police car careened out of control and struck a tree while chasing a stolen motorcycle in northwest Oklahoma City.

The driver of the motorcycle, 22-year-old Kyle Wayne Grider, surrendered to authorities late Thursday.

Grider has been arrested five times by Oklahoma City police, including past charges of using stolen vehicles. He could face charges of second-degree murder, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and attempting to elude police.

Funeral services for Dragus are set for Monday afternoon at Crossings Community Church in Oklahoma City.
