A 40-year-old man from Madera was arrested in connection with multiple hit-and-run crashes that occurred in Monterey on Saturday night, October 18, 2025.

According to the Monterey Police Department, officers received reports around 11:10 p.m. of a hit-and-run near Fairgrounds Road and Casa Verde Way. 

Investigators determined that the suspect, identified as Ulises H., had attended a party earlier that day at the Monterey County Fairgrounds.

Police said Ulises was driving east on Fairgrounds Road in a red Toyota Corolla when he allegedly rear-ended a silver Honda Pilot. A juvenile passenger in the Honda was injured. The driver of the Honda exited the vehicle to speak with Ulises, but he reversed and fled the scene.

While fleeing, Ulises reportedly struck a parked Honda CR-V along the north curb of Fairgrounds Road. As officers were investigating, they received another report of a crash near 2100 North Fremont Street, where Ulises’ vehicle had collided with another parked Honda CR-V.

Ulises allegedly abandoned the Toyota Corolla and fled on foot. Officers later located him at a nearby hotel on Sunday morning. Police said two pairs of brass knuckles were found inside his vehicle.

Ulises was arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail for hit-and-run causing injury, hit-and-run, driving without a license, and possession of metal knuckles. His bail was set at $10,000.
