A Los Angeles man was arrested after a bizarre, day-long crime spree in central California that included a pursuit, attempted kidnapping and assault earlier this week.According to a Facebook post from Mariposa County Sheriff's Office, the ordeal began at around 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday on Highway 120 in the Buck Meadows area.
'Melhalff made his way out of the lodge kitchen and walked to a creek area near the Tenaya Lodge Clubhouse, where he removed his pants, wallet and car keys,' the Facebook post said. 'He then entered the Clubhouse in only his underwear, told the customers to leave or they would be in danger.'Deputies say that Mehlhaff vandalized the inside of the clubhouse before assaulting the store manager and took their keys, attempting to force him to drive him away from the area.
