A Santa Barbara man faces multiple felony charges after allegedly striking a pedestrian with his vehicle and leading police on a pursuit through the streets of Santa Barbara earlier this week.

Cary Glenn Allen, 43, has been charged with aggravated mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of a crash resulting in permanent serious injury, and evading an officer causing injury, all felonies, according to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office.

He also has been charged with misdemeanor hit and run resulting in property damage, and domestic violence contempt of court.

The incident began at about 12:25 p.m. Tuesday, when officers responded to a disturbance on the 1900 block of De La Vina Street, according to Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale of the Santa Barbara Police Department.

“The reporting party called police dispatch to report a subject was pounding on the windows and attempting to enter a locked door of a local business,” Ragsdale said.  “Officers arrived and contacted the subject without incident. The subject was asked to leave the property and they complied.”

As Allen was leaving the area in his vehicle, he struck a retaining wall, Ragsdale said.

Officers conducted a traffic stop to pull him over on the 2000 block of Bath Street, Ragsdale said, and a good Samaritan attempted to prevent the vehicle from leaving by standing in front of it.

“The driver struck the good Samaritan, fled the scene, and a pursuit was initiated,” Ragsdale said.

The victim, whose name was not released, suffered serious injuries, and is being treated at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, Ragsdale said.

After a pursuit of the vehicle driver that led up onto the Mesa, Allen was taken into custody on the 2300 block of Carlton Way at 1:36 p.m., Ragsdale said.

Allen was arraigned Thursday in Superior Court in Santa Barbara, and pleaded not guilty to all charges, according to Senior Deputy District Attorney Megan Chanda.

He was ordered to return to court on June 13 for a preliminary hearing setting.

Allen remained in custody at Santa Barbara County Jail Friday afternoon, with bail set at $2 million.

At the time of the incident, Allen was free on bail from an earlier criminal case involving a felony count of corporal injury to a spouse, and a misdemeanor charge of violating a domestic-violence court order, Chanda said.

Allen also previously was convicted of battery upon a spouse, and had been sentenced to probation in that case, Chanda said.

If convicted on all charges and the probation violation, Allen faces a maximum sentence of 15 years to life in state prison, Chanda said.
