Napa Brawl Results in 3 Arrests

Two adults and one juvenile were arrested over the weekend on suspicion of assault, resisting arrest and possession of methamphetamine after a brawl involving a half-dozen people and Napa police.

Hector Martin Perez, 29, his sister Edith Perez, 25, and a male juvenile were taken into custody just before midnight Friday at a residence in the 1700 block of Pueblo Avenue.

Police said the incident started on Aug. 30 at about 11:50 p.m. when Napa Police  officers responded to the 1700 block of Pueblo Ave for the report of a fight involving at least six subjects.                                                                                     

Upon arrival, one subject later identified as Hector Perez fled the area. He returned to the scene while officers were conducting an investigation.

When officers tried to detain Perez, he allegedly ran from officers. When officers caught up with Perez, he physically resisted arrest, wrestled and fought with several officers. When officers were trying to handcuff and get Perez under control, his brother, a juvenile, came to his aid by charging officers with a bat.

His sister, Edith Perez, also came to Hector’s aid by grabbing one of the officers wrestling with Hector. Edith is also on probation in Napa County. Officers on scene called for more assistance.

Edith Perez was arrested but the juvenile had fled on foot when other officers approached. He was taken into custody a short distance away.

After Hector Perez was arrested he was allegedly found to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine.

Hector and Edith Perez were booked at Napa County Department of Corrections.

The juvenile was booked at Juvenile Hall.
