unnamedThe San Luis Obispo Regional SWAT Team found an Arroyo Grande man accused of pistol-whipping his roommate, dead of a self inflicted gunshot Wednesday.

The Arroyo Grande Police Department received a call around 7:27 p.m. Tuesday stating that Grant Steven Cole had beaten his roommate several times with a handgun after an argument.

On Wednesday, Arroyo Grande police detectives attempted to serve a search warrant at Cole’s residence, but Cole would not respond.

He beats his roommate, then shoots himself? Strange. I’d double-check for a planted crime scene, just to be safe.
