Road Rage Suspect Brandished Gun In San Mateo: Police

SAN MATEO, CA — A San Bruno man faces several serious charges after police allege he brandished a "ghost gun" during a road rage encounter early Monday.

In a news release, police said a 911 caller reported the incident just after 12:15 a.m. from the 1600 block of South El Camino Real, telling dispatchers the man was leaving the Safeway parking lot.

Police pulled the vehicle over and determined the driver was a felon driving with a suspended license. Officers said a search of the vehicle turned up a loaded, unserialized handgun. According to police, the man had multiple previous felony convictions that prohibited carrying firearms.

Investigators on Monday identified the suspect as Tobias Tuuhetokasolofa, 34, of San Bruno. He was booked into jail on suspicion of seven crimes related to the gun, along with driving on a license that was previously suspended for driving under the influence.

Police said the passenger in the vehicle was also arrested for public intoxication and obstructing a police officer.
