Salinas man arrested in Paso Robles after High Speed Pursuit



On Saturday, April 18, at approximately 3:53 pm, a CHP Templeton Area Unit was traveling westbound on SR-46 near Geneseo Road when he observed a silver 2003 Cadillac CTS traveling in the opposite direction at an extremely high rate of speed. The CHP Unit negotiated a U-turn and the subject's vehicle (S/V) began pulling away in excess of 100 mph. The CHP Unit activated the patrol vehicles emergency lights and siren with a steady forward-facing red light. The S/V applied the brakes and subsequently spun out of control. The CHP Unit then broadcast a failure to yield. Another CHP Unit and Sergeant began responding toward the pursuit. The S/V then continued eastbound while traversing in and out of traffic and passing on the right shoulder in a reckless manner. As the S/V continued at a high rate of speed, the S/V began to attempt to transition onto the US-101 Southbound 011-ramp. While negotiating the left turn for entry onto the US-101 southbound, the S/V lost control and spun out before coming back across lanes on SR-46. The S/V then came to rest blocking the #1 lane of SR-46 under the US-101 overpass. The driver took foot bail and fled over toward McDonald's, off Black Oak Drive in Paso Robles. A CHP Sergeant requested the Paso Robles Police Department with a K-9 and for an Air Unit to help locate the outstanding subject. There were two female adult passengers in the vehicle. At around 4:20 pm, the driver 23-year-old Alejandro Ariaslopez of Salinas was located near the Adelaide Inn and taken into custody without further incident by CHP Units with the assistance of the Paso Robles PD and CHP Air Unit H-70. It was revealed that the subject is unlicensed, has two outstanding warrants out of Monterey County, and a Protective Order in place for the protection of the right front female passenger.
