Ventura County Sheriff's Department

On October 27, 2010 at about 10:34 a.m., deputies assigned to the Moorpark Station arrested a 19-year-old Thousand Oaks resident, Vito Omid Riazi, for felony charges related to driving under the influence of a controlled substance causing injury, and possession of narcotics.

The arrest was the result of a 9-1-1 call regarding an injury accident on Tierra Rejada Road near Spring Road, in the City of Moorpark. While interviewing both parties involved in the accident, deputies suspected that Vito Riazi was under the influence of narcotics. Based on the ensuing investigation, deputies determined that Riazi was under the influence of narcotics and that his drug usage was an associated factor in the traffic collision. Riazi was also found to be in possession of heroin. Riazi did not receive any injuries in the accident. He was arrested and booked at the East County Jail.

The other driver in the collision, Jessica Walker, had a complaint of pain to her neck and shoulders. Her 3-year-old son, who was a passenger and secured in a child safety seat, was not injured.
