ROSEVILLE – A commander with the San Pablo police department was arrested this week on domestic violence charges, officials said.

Just before 11:45 p.m. Saturday, Roseville police responded to a report of a domestic-violence assault at a west Roseville home, Roseville Police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said.

Officers met a woman with visible facial injuries who told them the man she was dating had struck her. The man left before officers arrived. The woman declined medical aid, Gunther said.

Sidney DeJesus, a Fairfield resident, was taken into custody after officers stopped his vehicle at 12:10 a.m. Sunday on Baseline Road in Roseville, in Placer County. DeJesus, 56, was booked at Placer County Jail on $50,000 bail and has since been released on bond, police said.

According to the San Pablo police department’s web site, DeJesus joined the department August 15, 2016 after beginning his career in 1994 with the Vallejo Police Department. He served as public information officer for the department, supervised specialized units and has specialized training as a hostage negotiator.

DeJesus was not employed by the department, San Pablo police Commander Gene Alameda said Thursday afternoon. No information about a separation date was immediately available.
