Man Accused Of Trying To Kill His Father: Vacaville Police

VACAVILLE, CA — Vacaville police on Saturday arrested a man who allegedly attacked and seriously injured his father, a police sergeant said.

Douglas Dietrich, 32, went to the Vacaville Police Department around 10 p.m. and said he attacked and choked his father around 5 p.m. Saturday at their home on Walnut Court, Sgt. Chris Polen said.

Dietrich was booked into the county jail on suspicion of attempted murder. Polan said police are still trying to determine a motive for the attack.
