A Mustang Village resident was arrested after police found cocaine, heroin, marijuana and a loaded gun in his apartment, police said.

On Monday, San Luis Obispo police detectives served a search warrant at the apartment complex, which mostly houses college students, after they received information that Jonathan Ocampo-Espinal, 20, was believed to be selling illegal drugs out of his apartment, police said.

During a search of Ocampo-Espinal’s residence, police found more than an ounce of cocaine, several bags of marijuana and about four and a half grams of heroin, in addition to a loaded semi-automatic handgun, according to police.

Police also found other items “consistent with drug sales” in the home, according to a news release.

Ocampo-Espinal was arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine for sale, possessing marijuana for sale, possessing heroin and possessing controlled substances while also possessing a loaded firearm.

He was taken to the San Luis Obispo County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail, according to jail records.

Correction: a previous version of this story listed an inaccurate age for the suspect.
