Man arrested for stalking ex-girlfriend, DUI after fleeing from police in Paso Robles

PASO ROBLES, Calif. - Paso Robles police arrested a man after he tried to run from them in his vehicle while violating a restraining order Saturday night.

Officers said they began looking for the man after reports were filed that he had gone against a judge's orders to stay away from his ex-girlfriend.

He was quickly found driving in a brand new Chrysler by the ex-girlfriend's house.

When officers tried to pull him over, the man reportedly sped away, passing through one red light before losing control and crashing his vehicle into a curb, fully disabling it.

The man faces charges for driving under the influence, violating a restraining order, stalking and criminal threats.
