Elderly San Luis Obispo man accused of selling meth

February 13, 2026

By KAREN VELIE

San Luis Obispo officers arrested a 65-year-old man on Tuesday for possession of over a pound of methamphetamine for sale.

After conducting a complex investigation related to narcotics sales, SLO police officers and detectives contacted Eric Farrior at his residence on the 900 block of Monterey Street. Farrior was on probation for prior narcotics related arrests which allows law enforcement access to his apartment.

During the search, detectives found the methamphetamine, plastic baggies, a digital scale, and other items known to be used for sale and use of narcotics.

Officers arrested Farrior and booked him in SLO County Jail felony on charges of possession of a controlled substance, felony transportation for the purpose of sales of a controlled substance and felony possession with prior convictions.

He is no longer in custody.

Is the DA’s office not asking the judge to deny release? What is going on down there, insane

I guess Social Security doesn’t go as far as it used to…

Y’know, I have never been fond of the term “elderly,” and am even less so when applied to someone only 65 years of age. Please lose this word from your vocabulary.

What term would you prefer? What are your thoughts on the terms “illegal alien”, “homeless” and “criminal”?

Another “senior housing” placement by HASLO at the Anderson Hotel, a nasty den of drugs and mental illness paid for by $10’s of millions of tax money.

$50 million renovation to downtown Anderson Hotel in SLO. Exquisite place to live for free, sell drugs, and stab people.

“He is no longer in custody” It is said that Adolph Hitler was a Meth user. What has this person done to the minds of others?

I thought if you violated your probation, you were sent back to jail – and had to stay there to finish your sentence. I didn’t know it was a “get out of jail free” card.

On probation, charged with 3 felonies “no longer in custody” WTF??

I suppose 65 is technically considered the beginning of “elderly,” but come on, most 65 year olds are not really “elderly” these days. I’m 70 and super fit and healthy. No one would call me elderly if they saw me. Nor are so many others I know and see. The use of the term elderly in these cases is silly. Not really picking on Cal Coast, it’s prevalent elsewhere as well.


These days, I think perhaps over 80 is the new elderly.

I know what you mean. I go to my class reunions, and wonder why all the old people are there…

I’m nearly 79 and just call myself as “late middle aged.” After I hit 80 I may consider changing the title to something like “Senior,” but I’ll wait..

Thanks, Sloable. I made a similar comment before seeing yours. And I agree. It sounds condescending, implying frailty or diminished capacity, and those traits can often be found among those much younger than 65.
