"Roland Thomas "Sonny" Jackson" is a former shortstop and outfielder for the Houston Colt .45's/Houston Astros (1963–67) and Atlanta Braves (1968–74).

Jackson led the National League in singles (160) and sacrifice hits (27) in 1966. He helped the Braves win the National League West/NL Western Division in 1969.

In 12 seasons he played in 936 games and had 3,055 at bats, 396 runs, 767 hits, 81 doubles, 28 triples, 7 home runs, 162 RBI, 126 stolen bases, 250 walks, .251 batting average, .308 on-base percentage, .303 slugging percentage, 925 total bases, 57 sacrifice hits, 17 sacrifice flies and 11 intentional walks.

Jackson's best year at the plate came in his "rookie" season of 1966. Although he had played in the "Big Leagues" for parts of seasons before, Jackson qualified as a "rookie" in 1966. He had a .292 batting average and three home runs in 596 trips to the plate. The same year he stole 49 bases. This was a record for a rookie.

After his playing days, Jackson continued to be active in baseball. He was a coach and manager for several minor league teams in the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants organization and a coach with the Giants major league team.

They met two men who were paid $50 for the vehicle. It had no hood and it had been stripped. They took it to the crusher and it was crushed on Dec. 28.

The investigations are still active and ongoing.

Frankly, I can't tell you how he survived.

We're trying to determine who the two men were who arranged to have the vehicle picked up and crushed.

While they were walking to the park, she noticed that the guys had kind of dropped back. One guy really dropped back and all of a sudden the other individual grabbed her and sexually assaulted her. The other one yells out something like 'stop assaulting her', she managed to make a threat and than they both ran off.

All signs indicate that this was a suicide.

At this time, we're putting our case together to present to the district attorney to determine if charges will be filed against the bus driver.

He was in there long enough to raise questions.

He's getting the increase that goes with the job.
