This week, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies and CHP officers made multiple arrests and dealt with a toxic chemical spill. Several local suspects also appeared in court.

CHP officers screened 337 cars, made one DUI arrest and cited two unlicensed drivers at a DUI checkpoint near the intersection of Sand Canyon Road and Sierra Highway Friday night.

Deputies and Los Angeles County Fire personnel rescued a woman who had become trapped in her vehicle after she drove over the side of Vasquez Canyon Road. The car was totalled, but the victim wasn’t seriously hurt.

The Sheriff’s Department announced Tuesday that the Special Victims Bureau had arrested three child predators during a sting. One was a Santa Clarita resident, arrested on May 14.

Deputies and HazMat officials responded to a toxic spill on I-5 near Highway 126 Tuesday morning, when a big rig overturned and leaked corrosive sodium hydrosulfide onto the road.

Cory Allen Flenory, 27, of Valencia, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to counts of mayhem, vandalism and assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a road rage attack. He could face up to life in prison.

Deputies were called out to the Valencia Elephant Bar Tuesday evening, because the management was worried that employees would become unruly as the restaurant closed for good. No crimes were committed and the deputies left within 20 minutes.

A Sun Valley man was killed shortly after midnight Thursday after his big rig crashed into a Lincoln Towncar on Interstate 5, north of the Santa Clarita Valley. The truck driver has not been identified.
