VISTA, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A man suspected of possessing a ghost gun in Vista was arrested on Wednesday, authorities said.

Around 9 p.m., deputies approached three people sitting in a vehicle during a traffic stop in the 100 block of Emerald Drive, Sgt. Seung Park with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release Thursday.

The man in the driver seat, identified as 20-year-old Frankie Escovar, allegedly had a privately manufactured firearm and loaded magazine on him, according to authorities. He was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and other charges, the sheriff’s department added.

Ghost guns, unlike legal, commercially manufactured firearms, are not marked with serial numbers and cannot be tracked to their origins.
