While it is unclear whether the room in the footage is his ex-wife, police told ABC News affiliate WEAR-TV that he had "stabbed" himself before the crash in an attempt to kill himself because of marital problems.

Taylor pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge and two counts of criminal mischief relating to the crash. He has received two years of probation and will pay restitution for more than $10,000 in damage to the police vehicle and $45,000 in damage to the house.
