A 28-year-old Lakewood man accused of killing an on-duty tow truck driver early this morning has a lengthy arrest record, including three prior convictions for driving while ability impaired.
Arvada Police are investigating whether Zachariah Dobler was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they say he slammed into Alan Dilley near the intersection of 58th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
Dilley, 41 of Wheat Ridge, was helping emergency services and police clear an accident site near the crossroads when Dobler allegedly struck him and continued driving.
Police caught Dobler a few minutes later several blocks north of the accident.
Court records show Dobler was convicted of driving while ability impaired in 2007, 2004 and 2002, including one incident where authorities dismissed charges that he fled the scene of a non-injury accident.
Dobler's rap sheet shows multiple arrests for under-age drinking and driving on a suspended license.
He has also been jailed for domestic violence, burglary and violating a protection order.
At the time of his arrest this morning, he faced ongoing felony charges of criminal trespassing, false imprisonment and domestic violence in Jefferson County. He has pleaded not guilty to those counts.
Dilley's family declined comment Sunday afternoon. His co-workers at Connolly's Towing referred calls to the Arvada Police.
