“On April 22, 2024, Vallejo Police Department (VPD) officers noticed an Infiniti Q50 with a shattered sunroof drive into the parking lot of a business on the 2200 block of Tennessee Street. The officers conducted a records check on the Q50’s license plate and discovered that the plate was reported stolen from a Subaru.

Officers positioned their patrol vehicle beside the Q50 and turned on their emergency lights. The driver of the Q50 rammed the patrol vehicle six times in a failed attempt to flee the scene. The suspect even rammed the Q50 into a wall to escape before surrendering.
Upon searching the Q50, officers found an unserialized loaded firearm on the back seat. Officers also ran the Q50’s vehicle identification number (VIN) and discovered it was also reported stolen out of Richmond, CA. They arrested the driver for multiple felony charges. A records check on the suspect revealed that he had multiple warrants for his arrest – one for theft out of Solano County, another for burglary out of Marin County, and a third for probation violation out of Sonoma County.
The driver was Mirandized and stated he bought the Q50 from an unknown person on Facebook, and the firearm came with the vehicle.
The suspect was transported to the county jail, and the firearm was booked into evidence. The owner of the Q50 was contacted and the vehicle was towed from the scene.”
