Candidates for this week’s dumbest criminal in San Luis Obispo

June 4, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Three people are facing mutiple criminal charges after attempting to transport drugs in a vehicle with expired tags in San Luis Obispo on Monday.

Shortly before 3 am, an officer spotted a car with expired registration traveling on Los Osos Valley Road at Madonna Road. The officer stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver, Micah Ayhens.

The officers discovered Ayhens’ drivers license was expired and that he was on active bench probation with search terms, meaning the officer can search the subject and his vehicle.

The officer ordered Ayhens to exit his vehicle, but he refused.

A sergeant attempted to unlock the door through a partially opened rear window. However, the passenger in the back seat, Rickter Marr, grabbed the sergeant’s arm.

Another officer then took hold of the drivers’ side window, broke it off and unlocked the door. After a short struggle with Ayhens and Marr, officers arrested the men.

The front passenger, Kiona Zamora, was also taken into custody.

Inside the car, officers found suspected methylenedioxymethamphetamine also known as “MDMA”, fentanyl, psilocybin mushrooms, methamphetamine, a digital scale, and a large quantity of small plastic bags commonly used to package narcotics.

The three suspects were booked into the San Luis Obispo County Jail. Ayhens is charged with possession of a controlled substance for sales, transportation of a controlled substance, conspiracy, resisting and driving without a license.

Marr is charged with intoxication, possession of a controlled substance for sales, transportation of a controlled substance, conspiracy and resisting.  Zamora is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for sale and transportation of a controlled substance.

Drug dealers, manufacturers, distributors, smugglers, and transporters from the Cartel Kingpins to the street pushers should all receive the same criminal sentencing from which there can never again be any drug-related or any type of criminal recidivism. That’s how a serious society would engage in a real war on drugs.

Our police have a difficult job and we should all be thankful. Imagine doing this bs with these dirtbags at 3am while the rest of us sleep and for not really that much pay and with lots of societies losers giving them attitude about their career. I give a BIG THANK YOU to these officers and others doing their best keeping our communities safe.

I don’t know the names of the officers involved in this incident. Things may be as you say. However, there is enough corruption in the SLO Police Department to warrant at least skepticism, even mistrust. The primary example that comes to mind is the incident on July 7, 2022, during the daytime in downtown SLO. The victim was walking down a sidewalk pushing (not riding) his bicycle. He was suddenly attacked by two SLO bicycle cops. Sans any investigation, they just assumed he was someone they were looking for, but he wasn’t. Even when they found out his first name did not match, and he was not the person they were looking for, they proceeded to batter, torture, hog-tie and charging him with absolutely no explanation of what was going on. The thugs… I mean officers involved were Perlette and Magana. Perlette is on the Brady List for unknown offenses. Magana was “punished” for his actions with a promotion to detective calling into question the complicity of the police administration in SLO. Hardly the brave, honest, officers keeping us safe that you portray. A public records request resulted in a stone wall concealing any further information about this incident.

A person named “Astute Observer” sounds like he/she possesses the perfect characteristics needed by our Law enforcement officers and detectives. Join up with SLOPD, A.O., and begin to effectuate the changes you seek to make from within the organization. Good luck.

Probably not a good idea. I do not intentionally subject myself to being in the vicinity of the likes of Perlette and Magana, nor those that would tolerate their behavior. Even if I did, my lack of respect which I have a very difficult time concealing, would probably quickly get me tazed. At my age, that would likely kill me.

Let’s hope they do not get sentenced to “community supervision”. That hasn’t worked out so great lately.
