Tacoma and Pierce County Crimestoppers on Friday released the photo of a man wanted on suspicion of felony DUI and other charges. Julio Dimas, 37, is known to frequent the Bonney Lake and Federal Way areas. A warrant for his arrest has been issued by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

On Feb. 23, a vehicle driven by the suspect crossed the center line of Rhodes Lake Road East and struck a truck traveling in the opposite direction. Dimas allegedly showed several signs of being under the influence of alcohol.

Additionally, his license was suspended at the time of the accident. He has four existing DUI convictions dating back to 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2011.
