August 2, 2024

By JOSH FRIEDMAN

San Luis Obispo police arrested a wanted man who was allegedly carrying more than 25 grams of methamphetamine while riding a bicycle Thursday evening.

At about 8:30 p.m., a police officer stopped a man riding a bicycle at the intersection of S. Higuera Street and Los Osos Valley Road. The bicyclist, John Torres, had an outstanding warrant, for which he was arrested, according to the San Luis Obispo Police Department.

Police found Torres in possession of more than 25 grams of methamphetamine and a glass pipe. Officers transported him to San Luis Obispo County Jail and booked him on the warrant and drug offenses.

The SLO County Sheriff’s Office website does not currently list Torres as being in custody.

Damn bicyclists are ruining this town!

Nothing to see here folks, just another homeless tweeker. Probably on a stolen bike and hangs out around the mission or laguna lake

That’s why I drive a car and have no bike. The homeless staked out my house and cut the lock on my $2,500 bike when I left for the store in my car a couple of years ago. I will not replace it. I can’t park it anywhere, not even at home. They carry cordless mini-grinders to deal with any lock. They are largely not “down and out”, they are largely Mad Max drug-addicted opportunist criminals. Also note that they collect generous no questions asked general public assistance checks from the County. Drug testing and mandatory counseling for ANY public benefits.

Driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle under the influence could be a clue.

Way some of these bicyclists ride in the center of the roadway, one wonders if they are on meth or kryptonite.

Riding bicycles 4 abreast on narrow streets.

Maybe because drug busts don’t normally start with the stop of a bike rider?
