Road rage incident leads to arrest in Paso Robles

December 12, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Officers arrested a man who brandished a handgun during a road rage incident near the intersection of Spring Street and 9th Street in Paso Robles on Thursday afternoon.

Shortly after 1 p.m., a 9-1-1 caller reported the road rage incident and firearm. Officers then conducted a high-risk traffic stop on 56-year-old Jay Alba.

Officers found the firearm in Alba’s vehicle. Officers booked him in the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of exhibiting a firearm in the presence of motor vehicle occupants, felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm in public without a concealed carry permit, felon in possession of ammunition, possession of a high-capacity magazine and possession of a firearm without a serial number.

Alba is no longer in custody.

The same Jay Alba that works for the State of CA as Fire Apparatus Engineer and heavy equipment operator? It’s rare for a convicted felon to have a state job, let alone keep it after violating the law by being in illegal possession of a gun while a convicted felon.


I wonder if the news is going to report NEWS, and not just regurgitate a police statement in this instance. So far? Hasn’t happened.

I would think with those charges ,that would keep you in jail not free to roam and do the same thing again while out on bail.

so, they got one of his guns.


will they now search his domicile looking for more?

Excellent point! Seems to me the cops have ample probable cause to justify a search warrant.

“Alba is no longer in custody” same old shit!

No longer in custody!? There needs to be an investigation into the courts and DA’s office immediately to understand just what the h*ll is going on down there. Completely unacceptable that a felon can brandish a firearm and be out before dinner.

A felon with a gun??? Why isn’t he in jail???

Blame Sparkle Pony and his never ending band of merry imbeciles that champion criminals (like themselves) over the American taxpayer.

What a felon doesn’t care about the laws that say they aren’t supposed to have a gun? Clearly we need a bunch new guns laws so eventually these criminals will give up all their guns?

Clearly we don’t. How are new laws going to work if the ones in place don’t? Criminals will never give up their guns.So I recommend every law abiding citizens get one.

It was clearly SARCASM (facetiousness), mensa.

Spring and 9th? I usually don’t get my gun out until I’m north of 21st.

You keep a loaded gun in your vehicle near school children? Either a really disturbed joke or you are a public threat. Glad people who comment like this avoid north Paso, the only ungentrified non yuppy area left. Odd how houses go for 800k sadly.

25 states allow 2A open carry – no permit required. And I do open carry in those states. I have no doubt that all citizens near those that openly carry are safer than those that aren’t; an openly displayed holstered firearm seems to have a notably calming effect on those feelings feisty

I was building in north Paso in the 80’s, probably before you were here.
