None of the victims in the vehicles that were struck by the suspect vehicle were injured, according to police.

Police determined that 44-year-old Rohnert Park resident Fahim Jooya was the suspect in connection with the two hit and run collisions.

Investigating officers learned that Jooya had intentionally hit the two vehicles to "get the government's attention," police said.

According to police, Jooya also showed signs of being under the influence of a stimulant.

Police arrested Jooya on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, driving under the influence of drugs, and a probation violation, police said.

The suspect was booked into the Sonoma County jail.
