By Anonymous — Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
19-year-old Dennis Wileman of Fillmore was arrested on hit and run with promise to appear after causing substantial damage to the China Wok Restaurant and Water Store at the VONS center while stunt driving in his lifted F250 truck. The event happened about 3:00 a.m. in the VONS parking lot. Two passengers fl ed the scene but were later apprehended. Sheriff’s deputies arrived minutes after the incident and were able to catch Wileman fleeing the area. The truck was impounded as evidence. The entire front of the restaurant had to be sealed off. Wileman claimed he lost control as he approached the BofA teller machine traveling at 25 miles per hour. The extent of damage to building and truck caused the police to dispute this statement. |
