Vallejo police on Saturday said they arrested a man suspected of hitting a woman multiple times with a vehicle on Feb. 8.

He was identified by police as 35-year-old Ron Fonotaga Tili.

Police said Tili was driving near Sonoma Boulevard and Alabama Street on Feb. 8, around 2:45 a.m., when he allegedly struck a woman who was walking. According to police, Tili is suspected of intentionally hitting the woman multiple times with the vehicle.
