On September 28, 2022, around 10:20 AM, in response to recent narcotic activity, El Cajon Police officers were conducting enforcement near 400 W. Main Street. The officers recognized 33-year-old Ruben Quintana, who is currently on probation for assault with a deadly weapon.

Quintana was seen coming out of a room at the Travelodge motel, located at 425 W. Main Street. Quintana left in a vehicle and officers observed him commit a California Vehicle Code violation. They attempted to make a traffic stop and Quintana pulled into a gas station parking lot. As the officers pulled in behind him, Quintana put his vehicle in reverse and hit the patrol car as they were attempting to get out of it.

Quintana was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, and was later booked into jail. Further follow-up was conducted at the motel room where Quintana was visiting, and it was discovered that the occupant of the room was also on probation and currently using a San Diego County homeless voucher to stay at the motel.
