Tiss was booked in San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession while carrying a loaded weapon, carrying a loaded weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Alert witness who did something, Good for he or she!


Illicit drug violations COMBINED with firearm violations should result in a very long and very severe prison sentence. Make sure the suspect reveals his drug supplier and nail that scumbag also. Kudos to the concerned alert citizen who noticed the creepy stalking behavior and notified MBPD. The woman likely avoided becoming a crime victim.
