A 21-year-old Paso Robles man allegedly robbed a driver at gunpoint Monday evening and then punched him in the face.
The incident occurred around 7 p.m. at the intersection of Creston Road and Santa Ynez Road, according to the Paso Robles Police Department. Rafael Aguilar Anguiano, 21, allegedly used a replica pistol BB gun to rob the victim of $50 cash.
Prior to the robbery, the victim was driving his car and noticed he was being followed by a white Chevrolet Camaro, according to a police department press release. The victim stopped at the intersection, and the Camaro stopped next to him.
The victim told police that a passenger in the Camaro pointed a black pistol at him and got out of the car. The suspect demanded money from the victim, who was still sitting in his vehicle.

Moments later, a Paso Robles officer located the Camaro as it was leaving a parking lot near Sherwood Road and Creston Road. The officer stopped the vehicle along the 100 block of Santa Ynez Drive.
During a search of the vehicle, officers found a black BB gun pistol, a shotgun, ammunition, a small amount of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
