Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release

On April 18th at 6:4 PM, the Ventura Police Department Command Center received a call from a citizen who reported a suspicious male got into the citizens vehicle on the 400 block of Main Street and told them to continue to drive.  The citizen pulled into a parking lot and the suspect got out of the vehicle.

Officers responded to the area and located 31 year old Kansas resident, Jose Guido-Lopez, who matched the description of the suspect.  The officers detained Guido-Lopez, for further investigation and he provided a false name and information.  While officers were trying to verify his identity, Guido-Lopez tried to flee, and when officers attempted to take him into custody, he violently resisted.  Guido-Lopez was ultimately arrested, and when his identity was confirmed it was learned he had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Kansas.    

Guido-Lopez was transported to Ventura County Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries he sustained during the arrest.  When he was medically cleared, he was booked into the Ventura County Jail for felony resisting arrest, False Identity to a Police Officer, and the warrant out of Kansas. 

One officer received minor injuries and was treated at the scene, and a second officer was taken to VCMC for treatment of their injuries.
