A convicted sex offender was arrested in Garden Grove Wednesday morning after he was found with a loaded “ghost gun.”

According to Sgt. Mark Lord of the GGPD, detectives were conducting citywide compliance checks for multiple sex offenders who live in Garden Grove.

During one of those checks, Domiko Lee Boba, 45, was found to be in possession of a loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol without serial numbers or other identifiable markings, police said. They’re called “ghost guns” because they are often sold in kits and are considered untraceable.

Along with the weapon, additional rounds of ammunition were found. Boba was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm, for being a felon in possession of ammunition, possession of an unserialized weapon and violation of parole.

He was booked into Orange County Jail for those violations.
