Santa Barbara Sheriff's Deputies and CHP arrested a San Jose man this morning, following a high speed pursuit that began in Santa Barbara and ended in Oxnard on the 101 near Del Norte.

The chase began when the Sheriff's tried to pull the man over for speeding around 11am.

It turns out the car, a late model Porsche, was stolen in the Santa Barbara area.
