Chula Vista Police officers arrest man accused of carrying loaded ghost gun at block party
CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Officers with the Chula Vista Police Department arrested a man they say was carrying a loaded gun during a block party Friday. Although they say they have no idea what the man’s intentions were or why he was carrying the gun.
CVPD's public information officer, Sgt. Anthony Molina said a lot of planning went into making sure security measures were in place for the large block party that drew in thousands of people, keeping public concerns and safety at the top of mind. “One of the officers noticed kind of a bulge that he believed was part of a gun sticking out of this bag, so they immediately took action in detaining this person, conducting a pat-down for their safety, and that’s when they realized it was a gun,” said Molina.
