girlfriend of his might be awake.
But her hoyse lights were all turned
out so he “‘started driving west.”
He testified he really didn’t know
“where he was when he decided to pull
off a side street to smoke some more
‘ marijuana.

».At this time, Sgt. Hayward began .
pursuit of Bundy’s car. Bundy said he
became paranoid and started fleeing

remaining marijuana in his car.
Admits Lieing
When he was finally stopped, he.
testified he lied to police, saying he had
been to a movie in the area.
Lawmen, however, arrested him for
fleeing and possession of burglary
tools. Found in his car was a crow bar,
which police later alleged was used to
threaten Miss DaRonch the night she
was abducted. —
