Two Wanted Men Behind Bars

Two Santa Margarita men are behind bars this morning following a brief pursuit and foot chase. It started at around 6 a.m. yesterday when the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail tried to serve a “high-risk search warrant” on Stagecoach Canyon Road. According to a press release, deputies were looking for 28-year-old Max Gerarden. He was wanted for several domestic violence-related charges. He fled in a vehicle, then onto some property on Goldie Lane. Deputies caught up with him a short time later. Another wanted man, Daniel Romo, was also taken into custody during the incident.
