A woman was arrested Tuesday after she allegedly attempted to take a 4-year-old child from its mother, said an official with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
Alicia Sanchez, 44, who’s believed to be a transient, was arrested around 2 p.m., when deputies caught up to her in the Santa Clara River wash near the 23000 block of Via Canon.
A woman accused Sanchez of running up to her and her 4-year-old son and yelling, “That’s not your child,” according to Lt. Rob Hahnlein of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The mother reported Sanchez also threw water at her. The alleged victim also reported Sanchez tried to snatch her son, but the mother grabbed her son and walked away, and then Sanchez then ran off, and deputies caught up with her.
Sanchez was arrested for attempted kidnapping, criminal threats and battery.
Officials believe the woman might have been under the influence of medication; however, the initial investigation conducted by deputies determined she was not going to be taken in for a 72-hour mental evaluation hold.
She was transported to the Lynwood detention center, where’s she’s being held in lieu of $170,000 bail.
She did not yet have a court date as of Wednesday morning.
