The suspect got out of his car and began walking toward the victim. The victim managed to drive away and turned back northbound on Sierra Highway, making her way to the Chevron Gas Station.

The suspect followed her and confronted her in the gas station parking lot where an argument ensued. Another man passing by intervened and told the suspect to leave the area. The man left as the victim called 9-1-1.
