A Thousand Oaks man forced his way into the Atascadero home of his ex-girlfriend Tuesday, kidnapped her and fled to San Luis Obispo.

Atascadero Police responded to the residence in the 5400 block of Olmeda Ave. at 7:48 a.m. Tuesday. When officers arrived, the current boyfriend reported that the ex, 42-year-old Craig Sterling, assaulted him after forcing his way into the home.

After the assault, Sterling grabbed his ex-girlfriend and fled with her against her will.

Police located Sterling and the female victim at a hotel in San Luis Obispo. Officers arrested Sterling for kidnapping, domestic violence, burglary and battery and booked him in San Luis Obispo County Jail.

From looking at the booking photo I’d say he met some resistance from the boyfriend or the ex-girlfriend!


Or from the cops if he tried to resist arrest.


Yea the SLO rag said the current boyfriend gave the ex one a black eye.
