A Beaverton woman kidnapped and threatened by her ex-boyfriend early Saturday morning managed to escape and get help from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.

As a result, deputies arrested Jose Guadalupe Pinedaleon, 33, that evening. He is lodged in the Clackamas County Jail on attempted murder and first-degree kidnapping charges.

Sheriff’s Det. Jim Strovink calls the incident "shocking" and describes the 26-year-old victim, Yesenia Vehar-Fombona, as “courageous.” Strovink also credits an unidentified Good Samaritan with helping her escape.

According to Strovink, the incident began around 3 a.m. Saturday when Pinedaleon showed up at Vehar-Fombona’s job at the El Vaquero sports bar, 13456 S.E. McLoughlin Blvd., in Milwaukie. Deputies said Pinedaleon apparently had been drinking and followed Vehar-Fombona to her car when she finished her shift.

Pinedaleon attemtped to talk Vehar-Fombona into staying with him, but she refused and drove out of the parking lot toward her home and children. Pinedaleon followed her in his vehicle along Interstate 205 and called on her cell phone, saying, "If you don't pullover now I'm going to kill you!"

Deputies said Pinedaleon then pulled alongside Vehar-Fombona’s vehicle and fired at least one bullet from a handgun into the driver’s side as they drove along I-205 southbound, near the Stafford Road exit.

Fearing for her life, Vehar-Fombona pulled over and Pinedaleon forced her into his car. He then drove her to an isolated rural area near Woodland or Battleground, Wash.

After several hours of holding Vehar-Fombona against her will and threatening her, Pinedaleon fell asleep and she was able to slip the handgun away from him and run from the car.

As she was fleeing, Vehar-Fombona was able to flag down an oncoming car. The woman driving the car stopped and picked her up.
