Stolen Tesla rampage on San Diego boardwalk injures woman; suspect with long rap sheet in custody

A 39-year-old man allegedly stole a Tesla in La Jolla, led police on a chaotic chase, crashed into a roadside transformer, then drove onto the Pacific Beach Boardwalk where a 25-year-old woman was seriously injured. Bystanders chased the vehicle and captured part of the incident on Meta glasses before officers arrested Juan Antonio Gonzaba, who has an extensive criminal history. He pleaded not guilty and faces up to 24 years, 8 months in prison if convicted; a blood test is pending and authorities suspect he was under the influence at the time of the crash.
