One Man, Two Teens Arrested In Connection With Fairfield Home-Invasion Robbery

A Fairfield man, 31, and two teens, both 17 years old, were arrested on multiple charges Thursday after the Fairfield Police Department investigated a home invasion robbery reported Wednesday in the 700 block of Broadway Street.

The two victims told police that three suspects had entered the residence -- two armed with handguns -- retrieved property and then fled the home, said Lieutenant Stephen Crane.

Two of the suspects were identified as Duane Wildman, a 31-year-old Fairfield resident, and a 17-year-old juvenile, also from Fairfield, Crane said.

On Thursday, detectives from the Fairfield Police Department Narcotic Investigation Unit, Special Operations Team and General Investigations Unit located and arrested without incident the 17-year-old juvenile in the 300 block of Utah Street, Crane said

A short time later, detectives found Wildman traveling in a vehicle northbound on Walters Road, just south of Airbase Parkway, he said.

A traffic stop was initiated and Wildman was arrested. Also in the car and detained, Crane said, were another 17-year-old male and a female, 22.

Police determined the 17-year-old was the third suspect involved in the Wednesday robbery, Crane said.

The female was released, he said.

Located in Wildman’s vehicle was a loaded .38 caliber revolver, Crane said. This vehicle was not the one used in the robbery, he added.

That car was recovered in the 5200 block of Trophy Drive, and was reported stolen out of Contra Costa County, Crane said.

On Thursday at approximately 10:30 p.m., detectives served a search warrant on the 300 block of Utah Street, at a house associated with the suspects, he said.

Wildman has been convicted of multiple felonies and is on active Post Release Community Supervision for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He also has an extensive criminal history and prior law enforcement contacts for Theft, Auto Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, Possession of Controlled Substances, Transportation of Controlled Substances, Probation Violation, Possession of Controlled Substances for Sale, Evading Law Enforcement, Criminal Conspiracy, Parole Violation, Providing False Information, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Robbery, Driving Under the Influence, Domestic Violence, Burglary, Vandalism and traffic-related offenses, Crane said.

The teen located on Utah Street has prior law enforcement contacts, as well, Crane said.

The 17 year old with Wildman at the time of his arrest has prior law enforcement-related contacts and is on active probation, he said.

Wildman was booked into the Solano County Jail for suspicion of robbery, criminal conspiracy, terrorist threats, assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful imprisonment, felon in possession of a firearm and violation of Post Release Community Supervision, Crane said.

Both juveniles were booked into Juvenile Hall for suspicion of robbery, criminal conspiracy, terrorist threats, assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful imprisonment, Crane said. In addition, one was also booked for probation violations.
