A 22-year-old man in Whittier, California was arrested yesterday for allegedly trying to run down his former girlfriend after she turned down his proposal of marriage. LAPD helicopters spotted him afterwards wandering around with a bouquet of flowers.

The incident took place Thursday afternoon at Burger Stop, a restaurant on Slauson Avenue in Pico Rivera, where Hernandez had proposed to the woman, Berg said.

Hernandez's car had the proposal "Stacy Will You Marry Me?" written on the back window of his car, according to reports.

"She said no. He was a little unhappy with that," Berg said.

Hernandez allegedly drove onto the sidewalk through some bushes and into the restaurant parking lot, narrowly missing the woman, Berg said. Hernandez then allegedly tried to drive away from the scene with two flat tires.
