A man was arrested Tuesday, March 14, after deputies say the owner of a stolen Tesla tracked the vehicle from Escondido to Wildomar using a cellphone app.

The white Tesla had been stolen out of Escondido on Monday, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

The owner found it in a shopping center in the 23000 block of Clinton Keith Road and contacted law enforcement about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. Deputies spotted the vehicle entering northbound Interstate 15 and pulled the driver over at Baxter Road, the release says.

Ryan Charles Barton, a 29-year-old Wildomar resident, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary, receiving known stolen property, misdemeanor possession of burglary tools and maliciously defacing property with paint, jail records show. He was booked into the Southwest Detention Center, where bail was set at $25,000.
