'It's important that especially in this community we help each other out': Here's how one Vallejo man's quick action (and martial arts skills) helped capture a suspected arsonist and save nearby homes from burning down.
On July 8, 2023, a vigilant Vallejo citizen observed a man deliberately starting a vegetation fire with a flare near the intersection of Admiral Callaghan Lane and Turner Parkway.
The citizen followed the arsonist as he ran across the street and entered a black Tesla parked on the 900 block of Admiral Callaghan Lane. Before the arsonist could drive away, the brave citizen contacted the arsonist and removed him from the vehicle. The arsonist knew he was in trouble and quickly learned he was being detained by a trained mixed martial artist who introduced him to a double armbar.
Our officers investigated the scene and confirmed that the arsonist started the fire based on witnesses' statements and video footage. Our officers also discovered that the arsonist's Tesla was stolen from Fremont and he had a few extra flares inside the Tesla. The arsonist admitted to igniting the vegetation fire and stealing the Tesla after being advised of his Miranda Rights.
Thank you to the vigilant community member that stepped into action and helped prevent an arsonist from destroying our community! Thank you, Vallejo Fire Department, for risking your lives and defeating a vegetation fire that easily could have destroyed businesses and residences!
