Two Men Arrested in Newhall Clown Incident
| Monday, Oct 17, 2016

scvsheriffcarTwo men have been arrested in a clown incident in the Newhall area.

Around 6:34 a.m. Sunday, October 16, a man called the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and reported that he was approached by a male wearing a clown mask, holding a knife in the 25500 block of Via Desca in Newhall.

Fearing for his safety, the 26-year-old informant said he fired a warning shot with his handgun and warned the suspect not to come any closer. After he fired the shot, he said the man ran away.

Further investigation revealed that the caller, who reported the clown incident, was possibly under the influence of illegal substances and may have misconstrued the story. He stated to responding deputies that he fired one round into the air to scare away the “clown.” A search of the man’s house revealed multiple weapons, along with illegal narcotics.

A short time later, within the same vicinity, deputies detained a 44-year-old man. Within his possession, he had a clown mask, 6- inch kitchen knife, and burglary tools.

Both of the men were taken into custody at Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. It is unknown at this time if the two incidents are related. The investigation is ongoing and there is no additional information.

Anyone with information about this incident can provide information anonymously. You may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” Mobile APP, or “P3 Mobile” for the hearing impaired, on Google play or the App Store, or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

Metrolink to Hold Public Meetings on AV Line Capacity, Improvements
The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.
