A 36-year-old man in San Bernardino County who allegedly apologized after pulling a firearm on a person he believed was someone else was arrested and found to be in possession of a 9mm ghost gun, a switchblade knife, a stun gun, pepper spray and methamphetamine, authorities announced Monday.
The case of mistaken identity occurred on Sept. 28, according to a news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Just before 6:30 a.m., deputies responded to reports of a suspect “brandishing a weapon” in the 18000 block of Valley Boulevard in Bloomington.
At the scene, authorities contacted the victim who said the suspect, later identified as Fontana resident Edgar Adrian Arriagamendiola, pulled the un-serialized semi-automatic handgun on the man and then followed him when he attempted to leave the area in his vehicle.
The 36-year-old reportedly trailed the victim in his red four-door 2013 Dodge 200, drove aggressively and very nearly crashed into the victim multiple times while pointing the handgun at him and demanding that he pull over.
