1910 - Newhall (Auto) Tunnel opens, bypassing Beale's Cut [story]
Newhall Tunnel


[KHTS] – A Santa Clarita Valley teen was cited for marijuana possession in Valencia after a brief investigation in front of the office of the Detectives Bureau at the SCV Sheriff’s Station.

A Sheriff’s Station detective returning to the office from the nearby Valencia courthouse walked by two teenagers who were next to a glass wall by the entrance of the bureau’s headquarters.

One of the teenagers pulled out a marijuana pipe and was about to smoke when the 17-year-old boy was confronted by the detective, said Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Deputy Josh Dubin of the Crime Prevention Unit.

pot091212dThe teens were leaning against a glass wall of the Citrus Street building, officials said.

“A detective with our Detectives Bureau observed the two teenagers sitting down in front of our office on Citrus Street and proceed to pull out a marijuana pipe and they were about to begin smoking,” Dubin said. “Detectives from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station immediately confronted the teens.”

One of the teens had a pipe in his hands so he was cited for marijuana possession, which is an infraction. The other teenager was not cited.

The identities of the teens are not being released because they are under the age of 18, officials said.

The Detectives Bureau is about 100 yards from the Sheriff’s Station’s main building on the corner of Magic Mountain Parkway and Valencia Boulevard.

The headquarters of the Detectives Bureau is a separate building by the Sheriff’s Station, near the Bank of Santa Clarita.

  1. Dude lets light up we’re clear! Like how dimwitted do you have to be?

  2. Let’s hope they confiscated whatever they had on them incl. the pipe…my gosh. How dumb.

  3. This happens every day.

  4. Yet another example of how teen drug use is like the brain on drugs commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub_a2t0ZfTs

    Surprised they didn’t offer to share it….

  6. Legalize it. Problem solved.

  7. Its like that movie my idiot brother, where a cop asks to buy weed (in his uniform) and he sells it to him haha.

  8. Tommy Rini says:

    Man, it’s the same bull$*it they tried to pull in my day. If it ain’t that piece of paper, there’s some other choice they’re gonna try and make for you. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin’ man, L-I-V-I-N

  9. Daniel Konz says:

    Alright alright alright..! ^

  10. Proof that dope makes you a dope! How stupid!

  11. Sharon Todd says:

    There’s two words for those two…More ons

  12. Stupid is as stupid does.! It’s definitely a stupid drug.

  13. Rick Dodger says:

    All he did was get a cite hah no wonder it will never stop

  14. Anddddd what danger were they in? Was he holding a gun? Was he about to kill someone? Was he about to kill the cop? Waste your time on better things than busting someone for a HARMLESS drug.

  15. That picture is so not even close. They pulled out a pipe, not a plant

  16. to all u guys reading this

  17. Jon West says:

    Pot was not the cause of these teens stupidity. Stupidity was the cause, pot probably helped actually hahaha. If they were not smoking weed they would have had enough energy to go find the shallow end of a pool to dive head first into. Don’t blame the herb!

  18. Emily Ball says:

    I love those teenagers! Grass roots activism.

  19. Emily Ball says:

    I love those teenagers and their grass roots activism.

  20. Karin Rowe says:

    Only in SCV can this happen. Lmao
