Vacaville Man Arrested on Suspicion of a Dixon Hit-and-Run, DUI

A Vacaville man went to jail early Saturday morning after colliding with two vehicles and driving away from the scene of the accident, according to police.

Dixon Police arrested Jesus Salvador Lopez, 28, of Vacaville, on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run, and possession of a controlled substance. The accident happened on the 100 block of North 1^st St., not far from the Dixon Police Station at 1:20 a.m.

Police said that Lopez struck two vehicles with the compact SUV he was driving along North 1^st Street and failed to stop at the scene.

“I actually heard tires screeching from inside the police department,” said Dixon Police Officer Michael Geisser, who was the acting sergeant Saturday. “While I was outside – it was reported as a reckless driver – and while I was speaking to the victims of a hit-and-run, we saw the suspect vehicle drive by.”

Officers stopped Lopez and determined that he was DUI. The officers also discovered that Lopez had a Solano County, narcotics-related warrant out for his arrest, Geisser said. A subsequent search of Lopez’ vehicle yielded some cocaine.

No injuries were reported. Lopez was taken to Solano County Jail.
