Felony kidnapping suspect arrested after pursuit from Fairfield to Rio Vista
One man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony kidnapping and other on related charges following a domestic violence incident that began at a Fairfield park but led law enforcement on a pursuit to Rio Vista.
According to Rio Vista Police Department officials, their dispatch center was notified just after noon on March 28 that a suspect in a domestic violence incident was last seen heading toward the city on State Route 12.
“The suspect was reported to have assaulted a woman in a Fairfield park before dragging her into a car and speeding off,” read a release issued by Rio Vista police. “Fairfield police officers chased the suspect, who dangerously fled from the pursuing officers.”
Around that time, Rio Vista police said additional calls came in reporting a car on State Route 12 that matched the suspect’s vehicle description, driving recklessly near State Route 12 and State Route 113.
According to officials, officers set up at the possible points of entry from the west and caught the vehicle as it came into town.
“The units converged on the suspect vehicle, stopping it in front of the St. Joseph Cemetery,” read the release. “The suspect surrendered without incident, and a woman and a 2-year-old child were freed from the suspect.”
Dajon Daniel, 25, was arrested by Fairfield officers on suspicion of felony kidnapping, child endangerment, battery and evading with wilful disregard for safety and booked into the Solano County Jail. Bail was set at $75,000.
The Rio Vista Fire Department also responded to the incident, according to officials, and attended to the woman and a 2-year-old child. They also attended to Daniel for an injury he is believed to have sustained prior to being stopped by officers prior to being taken to jail.
