Police Arrest Alleged Stalker

WINNER! :) henry

Losers like this should be locked up for a long time. I mean a LONG time. This girl will be living in fear the rest of her life. Meanwhile, we'll coddle Federico with anger managment counseling and free meals until some soft judge deems the jail "overcrowded" and an overwhelmed bureaucrat with the paperwork takes a quick look and deems Federico a low-risk violent offender (so it's ok to let him out early). Anyone want to take bets on how long this guy is out on the streets before he commits another crime, likely in pursuit of this poor girl.

Where have I seen that look before??

Still defiant and angry in his booking photo.

Check his "gang" affiliation.

A bad case of separation anxiety, maybe? Some poor guy with abandonment issues who wasn't loved enough at home? Another misunderstood romantic whose culture promotes and celebrates this typical kind of behavior against women who are considered mere chattel?

Nah . . . well maybe that very last part after the romantic joke. Just another prison-bound loser punk with no idea whatsoever as to what life is about. And he doesn't look too curious or smart enough to ever find out.

Have a fun day in jail for the next few years, little boy Barreto . . . .

Ahhh yes, young love....

Well, he sure showed her who was boss. Now its time for somebody else to show him who is boss, in jail.

On a less funny note, another 19 yr. old a$$clown (last name Uribe) like this ruined 2 people's lives a few wks. ago in Pismo Beach. We were there staying right up the street from the incident & it was sad.
Seems like loverboy couldn't hang w/ the dropkick he got from his girlfriend so he decided to cconfront her @ her place of work which is the Marie Callender's on Price Ave, right next to the 101 south.
Well, she told him to take a hike, the mgr. of the restaurant told him to leave & that he did, got in his car & sped away northbound on Price, went up a few miles, got on the 101 south & decided to careen his car off the fwy into the Marie Callender's to prove a point. Only problem was:
a) He didn't have the velocity to hit his mark.
b) He murdered 2 innocent people out for an early morning walk, both DOA.
PATHETIC! Dude, I've been ditched by girlfriends before & I've ditched girlfriends before, GET OVER IT!
Like Sanity said: "Check his "gang" affiliation." :) henry

That is really sad. Well you can add three to the body count,because Mr.Uribe is getting locked up and they are going to lose the key. His life is as done as those people, and all because he couldn't let go. Now with his actions, he has let go of everything.

If the victim had been armed and the perp had known it such a situation might have been avoided.

Knowing your victim can defend themself tends to make people think twice. This is something the people who label us believers in the constitution as "gun nuts" need to think about.

Why did this woman have to get hurt before the police did something?

A few years ago after a nasty breakup, my son and I were stalked by my Ex. I had locks on my bedroom doors and my sons after that. We would see him near our house. I called the police and they did NOTHING. They said he had to be INSIDE my house or literrally ON MY PERSON. He stalked us for years. I never felt safe. I saw him about 2 years ago at the beach and he followed me. Can I tell you how exposed I felt at the beach. At that moment I simply hoped my son would stay up the beach with his friends. I did not want the man to see him.
I was with a friend luckily whose hisband is with the PD. We called him and the man stayed about 20 feet from me for about 40 minutes and then the woman he was with made him go. Because he left again the police could do nothing.
The feeling that someone that is dangerous to you and your child is horrible.You feel soooo helpless.
It doesn't go away. You just live in fear for your life.
And the law doesn't protect you until it is too late a lot of times.
WHY did this young woman HAVE TO GET HURT BEFORE THE POLICE RESPONDED.
I do not understand this law.
I never will.
Why wasn't this manarrested sooner?
Why do these domestic crimes keep happening?
How can we change the law.
Just reading this makes me sick---makes me remember.
No one should have to live in so much fear. Not only for herself but her child.
I am glad they caught this guy...but how many of these guys are out there? Doing what they do. Ruining lives.
I got my life back,but it took years, not only for me but for my son as well.
PTSD has that lovely effect.
It never goes away.
I hope this woman and her child can heal.
I hope the law changes SOON.
For the women still out there living in terror.

well said bill
was he legal or ill legal
no license
hopefully he will stay in jail a long time
if he is a gang member special circumstances may apply
tired of these scum bags

With a little luck, Federico will find himself a new "girlfriend" in County jail.

You never know until you break up with a person what they are capable of. I was beaten, choked, and left for dead after playing dead I heard my ex say where he was going to burry me. After all of that he got three months and then did it again to another women and not only beat her but raped her, I didn't want it to happen again so i testified against him he got six years, but it just shows how loosers get slipped through the cracks in the justice system. More needs to be done in Domestic Violence cases

On an even sadder note, he's not going to be tried for murder (last I heard). Vehicular manslaughter is what they're saying for now. Still a loss due to not being able to let go :) henry

@Hank- WTF? That is outrageous, what is the DA smoking up there in SLO?

The problem with the DV system is that there are women that lie and that takes away from the credibility of those that are for real. I agree with Bill, if people armed themselves, especially after a threat from an ex-spouse or domestic relationship, there would be less victims hurt or dead, and more violent attackers dead or at least disabled for a while. If a person has decided to target you, it is only fair that you defend yourself.

I cannot see myself ever carrying a gun and believe carrying a gun is not the answr. It is bad after bad in my opinion. My brother died because a roomate he lived with had a fire arm.
My personal feeling is that we need BETTER laws and protocols for those who are victims of stalkers.
An idea:
If a reported stalker is with 500 feet of his "target" that "victim/target" can call the police and the stalker will be arrested.
Second offense, 3 months.
Third offense, a year.
I also think a hefty fine should be paid by the stalker TO THE VICTIM.
A special fund for therapy and courses in self defense....for the victims.
And like child molesters ALL DTALKERS SHOULD BE OUTED.
Public documents published and it would stay on their record.
The midn of a stalker is based on many many variables...
The stalker may have mental issues and simply needs to be "saved from himself"
In my experience people who engage in this kind of behavior are very often a product of their enviroment.
The idea that to be a man means controlling peple and especially women.
We need to raise our sons better.
Let them know that "love" is not a thing that can be demanded.
Love has an energy and that energy is based on respect.
We need to pay more attention to actually doing things to make life better...things to create and inspire change.
0 tolerance for abuse...of any kind.

Although we agree on most other things I have to disagree with you on this on Elizabeth. There are two types of stalkers: the ones who are bullies and are used to getting away with it, and those who are nuts and don't care. Guns are an unpleasent subject for many but I'd rather live in a society where I have the right to own a gun because no matter what laws are passed the crazy stalker are still going to come over to your house and try to get at you.

Lest I draw the wrath of those who would label me according to my gender and background, I present the following two links to dispel the stereotype of those who support the 2nd Amendment:

Many years ago I was advised to drive to a police or fire station if I were being followed while in my car. Never had to try it, but it seems like a good idea.
