(KRON) — A man is facing assault and narcotics charges after Novato police responded to a report of domestic violence Saturday morning.
Novato Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence on Brown Drive after a caller said that her roommate was being assaulted, authorities said. The officers found the victim was locked inside a second-floor bedroom with the suspect and attempted to forcibly open the door.
The suspect, identified as Parrish Dejoun Marquise Wallick, 33, of Vallejo, jumped from the window into the backyard as officers attempted to make entry, according to police. One officer who was positioned at the back of the house tased and arrested Wallick after authorities said Wallick did not comply with commands to stop.
An investigation determined that the reported altercation was not “domestic” since the suspect and victim were acquaintances, and it was about money, Novato PD said. Wallick allegedly began to strangle the victim when she said she was calling the police.
During Wallick’s arrest, officers located fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, prescription pills, a scale and cash in his possession, authorities said.
Wallick was booked into the Marin County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon, illegal narcotics for sales, transport of controlled substances, possession for sales of controlled substances, resisting arrest, and two outstanding warrants.
