An actor famous for
his role on "Baywatch" was arrested in Placerville on charges of burglary and
hit and run.
Placerville police say 37-year-old Jose Solano was passing
through town on April 28, 2008 on his way from Reno to the Bay Area when he stopped into the Hangtown Tattoo and Body Piercing parlor. Police say he stole several pages of designs or "flash" from the shop and ran off.
Shop owner David Cameron
says he chased the actor down the street after he says he noticed that the pages were missing. When Cameron caught up with Solano he said that Solano had taken his shirt off, as a possible means to throw Cameron off his scent.
According to Cameron and
police, Solano got into a vehicle, backed into a light pole, then sped away.
Officers pulled Solano over a few blocks away and found the
pages he's accused of taking.
"I was pretty
shocked," Cameron said. "You know, when I found out he was on 'Baywatch' I was
even more shocked."
Cameron also told said he would have just given Solano
the pages if he had asked for them.
Solano was arrested and released
from the El Dorado County Jail on $10,000 bail. He played the part of Manny
Gutierrez on the series between 1996 and 1999.
