PASO ROBLES, CA – Just after midnight on Saturday, January 11, officers from the Paso Robles Police Department responded to a report of a man setting off fireworks in the alley way of 1900 Park Street. Upon arrival, the initial officer located a black Nissan driving south bound in the alley of 1800 Park Street. When the vehicle noticed the police unit arrive, the driver immediately sped off. The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle which continued at a high rate of speed making additional turns. Once a second patrol unit arrived in the area, the vehicle slowed down to yield on the 2200 block of Park Street. As the vehicle came to a slow rolling stop, the passenger, who was later identified as Rudolfo Cerda III, ran from the vehicle. The driver, Nicole Gatto remained in the driver’s seat and was detained on the scene. The second officer on the scene chased Cerda III and was able to apprehend him several blocks away from the vehicle.
