Over a dozen firearms were confiscated on Tuesday at a residence in San Luis Obispo, after sheriff deputies raided an indoor marijuana grow on the 100 block of Foothill Blvd.

22-year-old Michael Heider Samuels was arrested in connection to the raid and now faces drugs and weapons charges.

Deputies served a search warrant at the home and found an indoor marijuana grow in the basement and recovered a number of high-powered guns, including an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle.

Several of the guns are believed to have been stolen from a residence in Paso Robles.

Authorities also found ammunition, gas masks and military flak vests.

Samuels was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail.
