Man arrested for bugging girls near middle school

A 27-year-old man was arrested for allegedly trying to pick up a 15-year-old middle school student, Salinas police said today.

The man, Andrew Gaytan, was allegedly following girls near La Paz Middle School as he cruised around in a charcoal colored Mazda, officials said.

 

A passerby called to report the incident to police at 9:22 a.m. Wednesday. The caller told officers that they were trying to follow Gaytan and last saw him on Moreno Street talking to the 15-year-old.

 

Officers said that when they arrived, they found Gaytan trying to talk the girl into his car.

 

Their investigation revealed that Gaytan had contacted the girl three different times, police said. Officers, believing Gaytan was drunk, gave him a field sobriety test, which officials said he failed.

 

Gaytan was three times over the legal limit, police said.
Police booked Gaytan into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence and three counts of annoying a child.
