San Luis Obispo, CA-- The search for a man suspected of carjacking and kidnapping a young woman in San Luis Obispo is over.

Authorities arrested 23-year-old Joseph Ryan Soqui Friday night at a rest stop off Highway 101, near Gaviota. Soqui, who is a parolee, has been on the run since Wednesday.

Police believe Soqui carjacked a woman near the Cal Poly campus last Wednesday. They say he forced the woman to drive him to an ATM and then demanded she withdraw cash.

Once at a shopping center on Foothill Road, the victim was able to escape and call for help at a nearby restaurant.

Soqui is being held at the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
