After exiting at Los Osos Valley Road, Soqui ordered the woman at gunpoint to drive to an ATM. Once out of the car and walking to an ATM in the Foothill Plaza, the victim was able to run into a nearby restaurant for help.

Soqui then drove away in the victim's car. That's when police in Grover Beach saw Soqui driving the victims car. A short chase ensued and Soqui was able to jump out of the car and run from officers.

Soqui remains at large, authorities say he is on parole and considered armed and dangerous.

If anyone has information about Soqui's whereabouts they are urged to call the San Luis Obispo Police Department or Crimestoppers at 805-549-7867.
