The Union City Police Department has received inquiries about whether one of the two perpetrators of a violent robbery of an elderly Manteca man yesterday is the son of Union City Police Chief Darryl McAllister.
Chief McAllister confirmed that his estranged son, Tyrone Keith McAllister, is one of the two suspects arrested. Chief McAllister’s status as a law enforcement leader has no bearing or relation to the case whatsoever, but he is devastated by how much the nature of his son’s actions are such a departure from everything he has stood for in his personal life and 37 year career of compassionate, engaging police work. He and his wife worked with Manteca PD to help track down and arrest Tyrone this morning, as Tyrone has been estranged from the family and their home for some time. Chief McAllister expresses deep concern for the victim and the victim’s family and he remains steadfast that his son, an adult, must be accountable for his actions.
Chief McAllister will not be available for comment, as he is trying to attend to his family during this difficult time.
