Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies arrested a Tujunga man on weapons and drug charges after finding him asleep in his car while parked in Canyon Country on Saturday.

Here’s more of the story from the station’s social media:

“On Saturday morning, concerned citizens contacted the station about ‘an unconscious man’ they saw in a vehicle parked on the 26400 block of Carl Boyer Drive in Canyon Country.

“Deputies quickly responded to the reported medical emergency and saw that the man in his 30s appeared to be sleeping.

“A deputy knocked on the window to see if the man was okay.

“He opened his eyes but seemed very dazed – showing symptoms of being under the influence of narcotics.

“When the man opened his door to talk, the deputy observed narcotics paraphernalia in plain sight.

“There was also heroin, methamphetamine and a weapon (baton) found in the vehicle.

“Deputies arrested the 33-year-old Tujunga man on felony weapons charges and multiple narcotics charges.
To the citizens who called – thanks for keeping an eye out. If something doesn’t seem right, most likely it isn’t.”
