STOCKTON, CA – Two Stockton police officers were injured Saturday night after a suspect reportedly rammed their patrol vehicles during a response to a family disturbance.

Officers were dispatched around 9:12 p.m. to the 8500 block of Kelley Drive following a call regarding a domestic incident. According to the Stockton Police Department, while officers were on scene conducting an investigation, the suspect initially left but later returned and crashed into two occupied patrol cars.

Both officers sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment. Thankfully, their injuries were not life-threatening.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Hugo Carillo, allegedly resisted arrest. Police said that force was necessary to safely take him into custody.
