A man being stopped by police for running a red light on the Central Coast is dead, following what appears to a bizarre accident.
San Luis Obispo Police stopped a car for running a light early Sunday morning near Monterey and Santa Rosa Streets. But, by the time officers reached the vehicle, the man had fled on foot. A search was started.
About a half hour later, a person walking by the nearby San Luis Obispo County courthouse found a man bleeding on the ground. Richard Archuleta of Oceano was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives think the 56 year old man jumped a fence and climbed up onto the courthouse’s roof, but then fell and was fatally injured.
