A Yucca Valley man was arrested Friday afternoon after his ex-girlfriend said he tried to run her off the road in his car. According to a Sheriff’s report, the woman was driving westbound on Highway 62 at Balsa Avenue in a gold Toyota Highlander shortly before 4 p.m. when Tito Acosta, 23, pulled up behind her in a silver Honda Accord, started swerving all over the road, and allegedly tried to run her vehicle off the road. The deputy caught up to Acosta at Wamego Trail and the highway. After giving the deputy a false name, the deputy determined Acosta’s true identity. Tito Acosta was arrested for investigation of giving false identification to a deputy, booked at the Morongo Basin Jail, and released on bail.
