San Luis Obispo police arrested a felon whom they say an officer found with a handgun and methamphetamine last week.

On Thursday, a patrol officer stopped 39-year-old Lucas Hay near Peach and Santa Rosa streets for an open case compliance check. While searching Hay, the officer found two methamphetamine pipes, a small amount of meth and a .22 caliber revolver, according to the San Luis Obispo Police Department.

Police arrested Hay on felony charges of carrying a concealed firearm and felon in possession of a firearm, as well as misdemeanor counts of possession of paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance.

Hay currently remains in San Luis Obispo County Jail with his bail set at $30,000, according to the county sheriff’s office website.

Counties, cities and such need to realize they do not have a funding problem, they have a spending problem, if the DA truly needs more funding then some other department needs a reduction in funding, perhaps administration compensation, but the exact determination needs to be figured out by these outrageously compensated officials.

True enough, but I’m in no hurry to stand in front of it. You can if you wish.
