CHP Reports 3 Arrests For Drunk and Dangerous Driving in Sonoma County

The California Highway Patrol said there were three reports of drunk and dangerous driving in Sonoma County over the weekend.

The most serious incident happened around 8:10 p.m. Sunday when a CHP officer stopped Wilbert Canche-Colli, 30, of Novato, on southbound U.S. Highway 101 at Railroad Avenue for driving a Chevrolet van at 80 mph while aggressively tailgating and weaving through traffic, CHP Officer Jon Sloat said.

Five of the seven people in the van were not wearing seatbelts, and four of the occupants were ages 1, 7, 5 and 12, Sloat said.

Two of the children were Canche-Colli’s and two belonged to the other passengers, Sloat said.

Canche-Colli failed field sobriety tests and he was booked in the Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of DUI, child endangerment and driving without a license, Sloat said.

A family friend responded and drove the van away, Sloat said.

Dylan Russell, 27, of Forest Knolls, was arrested around 1:40 a.m. Saturday on suspicion of DUI and driving while suspended after his 1985 BMW was stopped on southbound U.S. Highway 101 at Petaluma Boulevard North, Sloat said.

Sloat said Russell’s car was weaving at 80 mph and almost struck the right guardrail. Russell was convicted of DUI in September, Sloat said.

Severiano Alcantra, 25, of Santa Rosa, was arrested on suspicion of DUI, driving while suspended and hit-and-run after his Chevrolet truck collided with a Honda Civic on Dutton Avenue near Funston Drive around 12:47 a.m. Sunday, Sloat said.

Alcantra was on supervised release and his license was suspended since 2007 for a prior DUI conviction.
