Drugs, Guns, Ammo Seized After 3-Hour Vista Standoff

A three-hour standoff in Vista ended in an arrest and the seizure of guns, drugs and ammunition Tuesday.

The Vista Gang Enforcement Team responded to a report that wanted felon Sergio Weik, 32, was inside a residence at 644 Rancho Vista Road, and may have been in possession of multiple firearms, according to the San Diego Sheriff's Department.

Weik was wanted for a felony warrant and a search warrant was obtained to enter the home, sheriff's officials said Wednesday.

The Sheriff's Department Special Enforcement Detail and Crisis Negotiation Team worked together with the gang unit to execute the warrant.

There was a number of other people inside the home, but they all came out voluntarily and confirmed the suspect was inside, sheriff's said.

Deputies said they tried to coerce Weik out of the home, but it took three hours and several rounds of chemicals to apprehend him.

Members of the Gang Enforcement Team found two guns, methamphetamine, heroin, hundreds of rounds of ammunition of various calibers, burglary tools and evidence of drug sales inside the home, sheriff's said.

Weik was arrested for the outstanding felony warrant, weapons charges and drug-related charges. He was booked into Vista Detention Facility.
