Beri Vikram, of Menlo Park, reportedly tried to spark a fire on Saturday afternoon at Garrod Farms Estate Winery and Stables. When confronted by staff, Vikram reportedly threw a wine bottle and fled in a Tesla. He then allegedly crashed into two parked cars, sending one over an embankment, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office said. After that, Vikram drove off the embankment himself and refused to surrender, authorities said. Deputies used pepperball and spray to eventually force him to crawl out of the car. He was then arrested and taken to a hospital for evaluation. The sheriff’s office said Vikram will be booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest. Copyright © 2025 Bay City News, Inc.
