SANTA MARIA, Calif. (KEYT) – The Santa Maria Police Gang Suppression Team arrested a person for a firearm violation just before 11:30 p.m. Friday.

The SMPD received a call for people drinking in public and GST officers found 10 people near Rancho Verde and Woodlawn doing so.

The SMPD detained all 10 individuals without incident when they found a hidden gun under a fence.

The unserialized gun had 17 rounds of ammunition, and the owner of the gun eventually identified himself for booking into custody.
