On Saturday (3/1), at 6:16AM, Novato Police received a report of a domestic disturbance inside a residence on Brown Drive. The caller believed her roommate was being assaulted and observed blood inside of the residence.
NPD Officers responding to the scene immediately entered the residence as they could hear the dispute occurring inside. They learned that the victim was locked inside the primary bedroom on the second level of the home with the suspect. The roommate told police that the victim was being assaulted inside the bedroom. As officers attempted to forcibly open the bedroom door, the suspect jumped out of a second-floor window into the backyard. An officer positioned at the back of the house confronted the suspect, who did not comply with multiple commands to stop and warnings that a taser would be deployed. As a result, a taser was deployed, leading to the immediate arrest of the suspect.
The suspect was identified as Parrish Dejoun Marquise Wallick, a 33-year-old Vallejo resident. Wallick had two active warrants for his arrest related to prior incidents in Lodi and San Joaquin County.
Further investigation revealed the dispute between Wallick and the victim, was not a “domestic” dispute since they were acquaintances. The dispute between them was over money and Wallick is alleged to have assaulted and strangled the victim after she said she was calling the police. Officers found a variety of illegal narcotics including fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and controlled substances (prescription pills) in Wallick’s possession in addition to cash and a scale. Wallick was arrested for the below charges and booked at the Marin County Jail.

• Warrants
• Resisting Arrest
• Assault with a Deadly Weapon
