During a routine traffic stop, Pismo Beach police arrested a 20-year-old man for having a concealed, loaded ghost gun on Saturday afternoon.

After pulling over the vehicle, an officer noticed a passenger was not wearing his seat belt. Officers then discovered Miguel Angel VargaSolmeda was in possession of a loaded, un-serialized semiautomatic handgun—commonly known as a “ghost gun.”

Officers arrested VargaSolmeda for having a concealed weapon, for carrying a loaded firearm, for having an un-serialized gun and for not wearing his seatbelt. He remains in the San Luis Obispo County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.

I’m guessing the Pismo police knew what/who they were looking for. The Nipomo/Santa Maria gangs are on patrol for opportunities in SLO, Pismo, and elsewhere. They have hit my neighborhood in SLO, the police didn’t even bother to take a report. Don’t fault them, why bother?


Well, at least they will hold him for the seatbelt violation…
