Suspect Arrested In Alleged Dixon Kidnapping: Police

DIXON, CA — A 37-year-old man is accused of assault, robbery and kidnapping after an incident in Dixon last week in which other suspects remain at large, police said.

The victim, a woman in her 40s, told police she was walking in Dixon on Feb. 8 when people she knew approached her in a car. She got in the car, and alleged that Ellie Barrientos, Jr., 37, from Dixon, started arguing with her.

Barrientos and another suspect began striking the woman in the head and torso, according to police. The victim tried to escape but was unable until the car stopped at a gas station, at which point she got out of the car and ran away.

The victim contacted Dixon Police, who arrested Barrientos Friday on suspicion of kidnapping, robbery, battery with serious injury and conspiracy. He was booked into the Solano County Jail.

The case remains active and police are identifying and searching for other suspects. Anyone with information was asked to contact Dixon Police Sergeant Mick Geisser at 707-678-7070.
