SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA — “On Friday, June 13, 2025 around 11:20 pm, staff at the arcade on the 600 block of Higuera told one of the bicycle patrol officers they saw a male with a firearm in his waistband. Officers located the male a short time later walking down Nipomo Street near Pacific and detained him. During a search of the male, identified as 18-year-old Juan Vargus-Tufino of San Luis Obispo, officers located a handgun in the waistband of his pants. The gun did not have a serial number, the magazine was not loaded, and the lower portion of the gun appeared to be after-market or 3D printed.
