Felon On Parole Arrested For Armed Robbery, Sexual Assault: Police

A 37-year-old man out on parole was arrested in connection with an armed robbery and sexual assault in Fairfield, California, earlier this week.

On Thursday afternoon, Fairfield police officers arrested Dewayne Allen Wright, of Oakland, California, on suspicion of armed robbery and sexual assault stemming from an incident earlier that day in the 1800 block of West Texas Street, according to a statement from the Fairfield Police Department.

Wright was arrested without incident hours after the victim reported the incident to the police.

Wright was booked into Solano County Jail on several charges, including forced oral copulation, armed robbery, kidnapping, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of an illegal firearm and violation of parole, according to the statement.
