The City of Oakley recently shared a social media post announcing the arrest of a suspect in a 2023 vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run case. Last Thursday, Timmy Hudson, a 57-year-old resident of Oakley, was apprehended by Oakley Police Department officers from various divisions who, since the incident, have pieced together the circumstances surrounding the fatal December 2023 event where a bicyclist was killed near Bridgehead Road and Main Street, after being hit by a car that fled the scene.
Through the collective efforts that spanned several months, the officers built a case against Hudson, leading to an arrest warrant issued by the District Attorney's Office after sufficient evidence was presented. Hudson, who was ultimately located and arrested by officers near Sellers Avenue and Golden State Parkway, was taken into custody and booked into jail, signaling the beginning of the prosecutorial process.
Chief Beard, applauding the officers' work, said, as per the City of Oakley, "I am proud of the tenacious dedication all of the officers who were involved in this case put into this investigation. Everything from the initial scene investigation, immediate follow-up investigations, the longer detail-oriented investigations and the careful planning that went into a safe apprehension of Mr. Hudson were all done in explementary fashion and I am proud of the officers of the Oakley Police Department who constantly prioritize the things that deserve our top priority."
