ATASCADERO — A 29-year-old Atascadero man was arrested following a domestic violence incident and vehicle pursuit earlier this month, according to the Atascadero Police Department (APD).

On August 12, officers responded to a report of domestic violence involving Ivan Sandoval-Farias, who fled the scene before police arrived. Sandoval, who was on parole for evading a peace officer, was later spotted driving on Highway 101. When an APD detective attempted a traffic stop, Sandoval led officers on a pursuit through rural Templeton and into Paso Robles before abandoning his vehicle on Stoney Creek Road.

After several days of investigation, detectives located Sandoval on August 21 in a vehicle near Highway 46 West and Vineyard Drive. With assistance from the California Highway Patrol and Paso Robles Police Department, he was taken into custody without incident.

Sandoval-Farias was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of felony domestic violence, felony evading a peace officer, and a parole warrant. He remains in custody.
