He tried to get Falcone out of her car and into his. After she told him to go away, she said the look on his face, was something from a horror movie. The man was later identified as 56-year-old Safaei Ali from Sunnyvale. After the incident, Falcone posted a warning on Facebook and notified the police department.Ali was wanted by the San Jose Police Department for kidnapping and false imprisonment. There was a warrant issued for his arrest after he was contacted in Yreka. The Yreka Police Department put out a B.O.L.O. to allied agencies and Ali was arrested Tuesday morning in Ashland, Oregon.
