The Vallejo Police Department has been busy this past week, sweeping up the streets from what appears to be a series of reckless driving incidents involving Lexus vehicles. Last Friday, in broad daylight near Mare Island Way and Tennessee Street, a 2003 Lexus occupied by three was caught performing dangerous stunts, colloquially known as 'donuts'. The Vallejo PD discovered the driver, hailing from Jurupa Valley, CA, to be driving on a suspended license, according to a Facebook post by the Vallejo Police Department.
Later that same evening, another Lexus, a 1997 model with two passengers, was spotted spinning in circles at the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Springs Road. The Richmond, CA driver owned up to his actions, explaining that he was "testing" his vehicle after some work had been completed, a costly test that resulted in the car being towed and slapped with a 30-day hold.
Yesterday, Vallejo officers were called to manage a sideshow comprising over 350 participants near Broadway Street and Lewis Brown Road. In the early hours of 4:35 A.M., another 1997 Lexus was spotted amidst the fray, its tires eventually flattening on the 1900 block of Broadway Street. The driver from Stockton, CA, had never received a license to operate a vehicle. This latest driver was cited for the violation, and his Lexus, like the others, was towed and placed on a 30-day impoundment.
