Arrest Made In Hit-And-Run That Injured Girl, 7: Santa Rosa PD

SANTA ROSA, CA — Santa Rosa police on Tuesday afternoon arrested a man suspected of a hit-and-run collision Saturday that injured a 7-year-old girl. The girl suffered minor injuries when she was struck by a dark-colored sedan around 5:15 p.m. in the area of Campoy Street and Louis Krohn Drive in southwest Santa Rosa, police said.

Part of the collision was captured by a resident's security camera. Police received multiple tips from the public, including a surveillance video of the suspect, Dominick Dejoun Weaver, 29, of Santa Rosa, trying to hide the vehicle after the collision, police said.

Officers reviewed Weaver's social media posts that showed him driving the black 2004 BMW 645Ci that was involved in the collision, police said.

Weaver was found hiding in a bedroom when officers served a search warrant at his Broadmoor Street home, and the BMW also was recovered at his residence, police said.

During an interview with police, Weaver admitted being involved in the collision and leaving the scene. He was arrested around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and three outstanding warrants for his arrest, police said.

He also has been charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer, possessing a false birth certificate or identification, and driving on a suspended or revoked license.

Weaver is scheduled to be arraigned on the felony charge Thursday afternoon in Sonoma County Superior Court.
