Roseville man suspected of attempted vehicular assault arrested after standoff, police say

A man accused of intentionally trying to hit a woman with his car was arrested Friday following a police standoff in Roseville.

In a news release, the Roseville Police Department said that dispatchers received a 911 call from a woman at 3:17 p.m. to report that a man she knew was trying to hit her with his vehicle.

That man was later identified as Daniel Loza, 20, of Roseville, according to Placer County Sheriff’s Office jail logs.

The woman managed to escape the situation, and relayed the description of Loza’s vehicle to police.

Patrol officers on the 500 block of Atlantic Street soon found Loza’s vehicle parked at a residence.

Police determined that Loza, who was already known to the department, was inside the home and tried to make contact with him. According to the release, Loza refused to come outside.

After several hours, Loza agreed to exit the residence peacefully and was taken into custody. Loza faces several felony charges — stalking, assault with a deadly weapon and threatening a victim — and is accused of one misdemeanor charge of obstructing an officer.

He is being held at Placer County’s south jail; his bail is set at $750,000.
