June 29, 2015 (Spring Valley) – Renee Chan, a parolee wanted on a warrant is under arrest for assaulting a deputy with a vehicle in Spring Valley this morning.
A concerned citizen called 9-1-1 to report hearing a physical altercation between Chan and a roommate inside a home on Tyler Street in Spring Valley. Deputies from the Rancho San Diego substation responded. When the first deputy approached the residence, a black Ford 500 with two occupants started to drive away.
The deputy motioned for the vehicle to stop and the driver halted. A passenger with blood on his clothing and shoes got out and started to walk away. When the deputy addressed the passenger, the driver abruptly accelerated and struck the deputy on his knee with the vehicle’s bumper, said Sergeant Pat McEvoy.
The driver was later identified as 30-yaer-old Renee Chan, who fled the scene in his vehicle.
Deputies, California Highway Patrol units and a Sheriff’s helicopter searched the area and saw a man matching the driver’s description entering a local business. The CHP officer detained him without incident and confirmed he was the suspect. The vehicle was found nearby.
Chan was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer. He is currently on county probation, released early under the state’s Assembly Bill 109 requirements. His probation had been revoked without bail and there was an arrest warrant outstanding at the time of his incident.
