'Unruly' Sideshow Involving 50 Cars Broken Up In Vallejo: Police

VALLEJO, CA — Law enforcement officers from multiple agencies responded and broke up a large sideshow involving as many as 200 people and 50 cars driving recklessly and spinning donuts at various intersections early Sunday in the city of Vallejo, police said.

"The areas of concern were Sage and Fairgrounds Drive, Lemon and Sonoma Boulevard, Columbus and Lake Herman Road, and Georgia and Maple Street," Vallejo police Capt. Jason Potts said.

As Vallejo PD's allied agencies, the Solano County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol and the American Canyon Police Department, responded to help break up the sideshow, Potts said some of the sideshow participants were unruly and threw bottles at officers.

Patrol officers ultimately impounded three cars for 30 days, and issued three misdemeanor citations for suspected reckless driving.

Potts said Vallejo PD has "zero tolerance for the disruption, vandalism and violence caused by sideshows."

"We will continue to work diligently to suppress and limit the injuries and occasional fatalities caused by them," Potts said.
