WATSONVILLE—A 60-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after leading officers on a brief car chase and then crashing into several parked dilapidated vehicles at Watsonville Fire Station 2 on Airport Boulevard.
Watsonville Police spokeswoman Michelle Pulido said officers around 1pm got reports of a hit-and-run crash involving a white car on Martinelli Street.
The driver, later identified as Curt Wilcox, left the scene of the crash and continued to drive with a flat tire, Pulido said. Officers spotted Wilcox driving against traffic and attempted to pull him over.
Wilcox, driving a Chrysler Sebring, refused to stop and eventually drove into the fire department’s parking lot where he rammed his car into two unoccupied parked cars.
The vehicles Wilcox struck are junked cars used by firefighters in rescue training exercises.
“We are still working to determine if Wilcox was driving under the influence,” Pulido said.
I am Brooke Wilcox’s mother and what Shaun and Brooke have gone thru for the last 25 years dealing with Curt Wilcox is unbelieveable.
Brooke was kind to that man and he almost killed my daughter and brought such mental anguish to my granddaughters who witnessed the attack with the stun gun. I have known Curt for the length of time Brooke and Shaun have been married, and was always afraid to be in his company alone. He is even not allowed to be around any of his family members because of his mental derangement.
I pray to God he is not allowed to run, and if he does get voted in the School Board needs to be very careful. His record does not say everything this man has done to his exwives and their children
