San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s detectives arrested a 28-year-old Paso Robles man on Saturday who allegedly kidnapped, shot, terrorized and threatened a man in an attempt to dissuade a witness from testifying.
On Friday at 2:30 p.m., an unidentified man called 911 from a mobile home park on River Road in San Miguel to report he had been shot in the leg. An ambulance transported the victim to a local hospital where he received treatment for the non-life threatening injury.
On Saturday, deputies arrested Jorge Alejandro Reyes on charges of assault with a firearm on a person, robbery, kidnapping, felony threatening a crime with intent to terrorize, and preventing a witness or victim to report a crime. His bail has been set at $100,000.
The sheriff’s office says the shooting appears to be an isolated incident. The department has not released any additional information about the victim or Reyes’ motive.
