Deputies observed that Hogue appeared to under the influence of a controlled substance and he was subsequently arrested.
When deputies searched Hogue, they located a glass smoking methamphetamine pipe in his jacket. They searched his backpack and located a loaded 9mm Rock Island Armory pistol without a serial number, a loaded sawed-off Springfield Model 67 12-gauge shotgun also without a serial number and a PR-24 Baton. There were also 100 rounds of 9mm ammunition and six rounds of 12-gauge ammunition.
Hogue was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on charges of carrying a concealed firearm, manufacturing etc. a short barrel gun, manufacturing etc. lead cane, possession of unlawful paraphernalia and being under the influence of a controlled substance. He is being held on $35,000 bail.
He’s a disaster to the public waiting to happen. That combination bodes no good for anybody, even him. From the picture, it appears meth is already taking its toll. What a destructive drug.
