Agents of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Man arrested in San Carlos after being found under the influence of alcohol and in possession of firearms and usable cartridges.
Officers responded to the 200 block of Industrial Road in San Carlos City on a report of a vehicle blocking the exit of a business, police said.
Upon arrival, officers found a white Chevrolet Express van blocking a commercial exit, so officers contacted Andrew Cuestas, who was sitting in the driver's seat with the vehicle running.
Upon contact with him, Cuestas showed objective symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol, and admitted to being in possession of a rifle inside his vehicle.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed an unloaded .22 caliber rifle, a loaded pistol, and several usable high-capacity magazines.
Cuestas failed a series of alcohol tests and was arrested on eight criminal charges.
Cuestas was transported and booked into the San Mateo County Jail without incident.
