This was part of the federal investigation into a methamphetamine and heroin trafficking operation that was operated by the Rocha family in Nipomo. "Operation: All in the Family" ended with raids on eight homes in San Luis Obispo County and resulted in 12 arrests. During those searches, investigators found more than 65 rifles, shotguns and handguns, and approximately $165,000 in cash.
Castro was arrested on numerous charges including possession of an assault weapon, unlawful assault weapon activity, possession of a large capacity magazine, and the cultivation and possession of marijuana for sale, all of which are felonies.
