San Luis Obispo man busted with guns and meth

August 19, 2025

A San Luis Obispo man is in jail after an officer busted him driving on a suspended license with drugs and meth in his car on Sunday.

Shortly before midnight, a police officer watched a car run a stop sign on Olive Street. In addition, the vehicle had a broken brake light and a license plate with peeling reflective material, making it unreadable.

The officer pulled the car over and identified the driver as 43 year old Baldomero Sarabia, a San Luis Obispo resident with a suspended driver’s license. Sarabia then told the officer he had a shotgun and some methamphetamine in the car.

During his search, the office found suspected methamphetamine and a glass pipe in the center console, and a shotgun and a pellet gun in the trunk. A records check on the shotgun showed it was unregistered.

The officer arrested Sarabia on multiple misdemeanor charges, including possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia, being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of an unlicensed firearm and driving on a suspended license. He is no longer in custody.

Everyone knows that if ur gonna be driving late at night with guns and meth in ur car, make sure to have a valid drivers license, have a vehicle in good working order, and definitely don’t run any stop signs. Then again, if he’s already out, what difference does it make? He’ll probably get caught making those same mistakes next week…

There’s a Linked In listing of the name as being a Banking Service Officer at Mechanics Bank in San Luis Obispo.

“He is no longer in custody.” Thanks Dan Dow. Business as usual.

Your ire is misdirected. SLOPD charged Sarabia with every realistic violation they could, and the District Attorney doesn’t establish SLO County Bail schedules. Bail amounts are set yearly by the California Superior Court Justices and are applied statewide.
