RIALTO
DUI suspect rearrested after crash
A man arrested on suspicion of drunken driving was re-arrested hours later after he crashed into a car and threatened to hurt the driver if he called police, officers said.
Shay Ralph Johnson, 23, of San
Bernardino was booked on suspicion of felony drunken driving, felony hit-and-run, terrorist threats and violating parole, said Rialto police Sgt. Vince Licata.
Rialto police initially arrested Johnson about 2 a.m. Friday in the 100 block of East Foothill Boulevard. His wife pulled up while he was being given sobriety tests.
Officers brought him to the station for more tests and to sober up, Licata said. Johnson and his car were released to his wife about 5:30 a.m.
The woman drove to where she had left her car to obtain an item and then planned to drive her husband home in his car. But he began arguing with her and demanded he drive.
When she insisted he couldn't drive, Johnson threatened to hurt her and then kicked her out of the vehicle, Licata said. The woman got into her own car and began following her husband.
"He smashes into a vehicle, launches that vehicle into a couple parked cars," Licata said. "He goes over to the driver and threatens him with violence if he calls the police."
The other driver received moderate injuries and complained of pain to his neck and back. He was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton for treatment.
Johnson ran to a pay phone and called a friend to pick him up.
Police went to the man's home in San Bernardino and arrested him again. He was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

BS Ranch Perspective:
I am on the Police Departments side on every thing I have to say first and for most before I start my perspective or thoughts on this case. But this guy should have been arrested the very first time that he was in the contact of the Rialto or San Bernardino or whom ever Department he was in contact with at first, becuase they would have saved a whole crash and all by this whole thing, ti is a mess. . It was clear that he was drunk from the get go and should have gone for PC 647 Subsection 'f' Drunk in Public to the point that he is unable to care for himself or thesafety of other. in other words this guy's a danger to people, and should be held until sobre!!
