"Harlen West, 24, is one of two men arrested charged in the case in which prosecutors say they engaged in harassment of officer Aaron Williams on numerous occasions in 2022 including an incident in December 2022 where West and Luis Flores, also of Dixon, threatened Officer Williams that he would suffer beatings and announced loudly the officer's wife's name, address and the vehicle she drove, including make, model and license number."
"A Solano County Superior Court jury deliberated for just a few minutes over two hours before returning a guilty verdict on Feb. 11. Judge Janice M. Williams ordered West back to Solano County Jail, though he had been out on bail during the trial. Alternative Public Defender Sayuri Takagawa subsequently filed a motion to have his custody reviewed and to have West released on bail."
Harlen West, 24, was convicted of stalking Dixon police officer Aaron Williams for repeated harassment in 2022. Prosecutors alleged incidents including threats of beatings, publicly announcing the officer's wife's name, address and vehicle details, yelling obscenities while Williams was on duty, and throwing gravel at his patrol car. A jury returned a guilty verdict on Feb. 11 after brief deliberations. Judge Janice M. Williams ordered West jailed despite earlier pretrial release. Defense counsel filed a motion seeking bail pending sentencing, citing West's court attendance and support letters. The prosecution opposed release as risky and serious. A bail hearing is scheduled Feb. 23; sentencing on March 12.
