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.

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.
