Rachael Louise Frank was taken to Napa County jail, along with a male friend, after police determined the pair had gotten into a fight and damaged one another’s cars, according to police.
The ruckus started late Sunday night in the 3600 block of Dover Street.
Jaime Alvarez, 36, accused Frank of punching him in the face, Napa Police Sgt. Don Honey said. Frank told police Alvarez put her in a head lock, he said.
The argument made its way outside where Frank said Alvarez pulled the driver’s window of her car out of its track, Honey said, adding, Frank allegedly used her car to bash into Alvarez’s vehicle.
Frank, 38, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, battery and vandalism.
Alvarez was arrested on suspicion of battery and vandalism.
Motorcyclists crash
A motorcycle outing for two friends ended up with an ambulance ride to Queen of the Valley Hospital on Sunday.
Zachery Powell, 23, of Sacramento was cruising on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle westbound on Highway 128, east of Wraggs Canyon Road. He took a curve in the road too fast and dumped his bike on the road, California Highway Patrol Officer Jerry Rico said.
Powell’s friend, Jeff Haymart, who was riding his motorcycle too close behind Powell, slammed into Powell’s bike and also crashed, Rico said.
Powell, Haymart and his passenger, Jennifer Haymart, 27, of Carmichael, all were taken to the Queen complaining of pain, Rico said.
Unwanted visitor arrested
After refusing to leave the front porch of a residence in the 1300 block of Pueblo Avenue, Soloria Armando found himself sitting behind bars early Saturday morning.
The homeowner, who did not know Armando, ordered him to leave his porch, Sgt. Don Honey said. When he wouldn’t comply, the homeowner called police.
When officers arrived, they searched Armando and found him to be in possession of methamphetamine, Honey said.
Armando was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of meth, trespassing and being under the influence of drugs.
