A 31-year-old Vista man was arrested on suspicion of multiple felony weapons charges early Saturday after he led deputies on a short pursuit to his Vista home, where authorities allegedly found multiple guns and tools to modify guns.
Deputies spotted the man, who they suspected was driving impaired, on Mercantile Street, north of state Route 78, at about 2 a.m. Saturday, said San Diego County sheriff’s Sgt. Nicholas Backouris. The man is a convicted felon with a history of carrying concealed home-built firearms, he said.
The driver failed to pull over for deputies and led them on a brief pursuit that ended at his home on Astro Court, less than a mile away, Backouris said. He parked his pickup in the driveway of the home, locked the doors and yelled for his parents.
