Fairfield man arrested in deputy hit-and-run

Daniel Reynolds, 34, of Fairfield, hit Deputy Curtis Taylor just before midnight Thursday while Taylor was working an off-duty traffic detail on Hamilton Avenue, Sheriff Jim Neil and Capt. Tom Butler said. Reynolds is facing a felony charging of leaving the scene. Taylor is a 21-year veteran of the sheriff's office who started at the jail and worked his way up to patrol. Butler said Taylor has served in every district the office covers and has gained a "vast wealth of knowledge" from his experience. He's also the father of a 10-year-old girl.
