Man charged in Berkeley violent abduction of ex-girlfriend, their three children

"The suspect, Darryl Wayne Hill, 20, of Berkeley, was charged Monday with felony counts of corporal injury to a relationship partner and three counts of child abuse, and a misdemeanor count of hit-and-run driving in the Nov. 20 incident, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail pending a Dec. 5 pre-trial hearing."

"According to authorities and court documents, just after 1 p.m. Nov. 20 Hill forced his way into a bathroom at a residence in the 1800 block of Sixth Street where he choked and punched the 21-year-old mother of his three sons, a 1-year-old and two 3-year-olds. He then allegedly dragged her down some stairs and placed her in a vehicle, where the children already were, and drove off."

"Police were able to track the vehicle into San Leandro, where Hill had stopped in the area of MacArthur and Broadmoor boulevards at about 3 p.m. He was outside the vehicle holding one of his older sons when he spotted police, dropped the child into the middle of the street and fled on foot, the documents say. He was eventually found hiding in a trash bin and was arrested."
