Altadena deputies arrested a 33-year-old Norwalk man Tuesday who was driving a stolen vehicle, according to a press release.
The Sheriff's Department reported that Cesar Antonio Soto, a parolee, was found driving a 1995 Honda Civic that was reported stolen. According to the press release, a deputy noticed that the vehicle Soto was driving had an inoperable tail light. According to the press release, "As the deputy drove toward the suspect’s vehicle, the suspect suddenly pulled over on his own. When contacted, the suspect told the deputy that he was on parole for burglary. When the deputy ran the vehicle’s license plate, the vehicle returned as stolen out of the city of Whittier. Suspect Soto was arrested without incident and booked for driving a stolen vehicle and for a violation of parole."
Soto has previous convictions for burglary, narcotics, and robbery, according to the sheriff's department. The case will be presented to the district attorney today.
