“On Friday, around 6 a.m., we received a call of a suspected drunk driver near Shangri La Lane in Canyon Country,” said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “The driver was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the road.”
When deputies made contact with Obed Magana Uribe, 32, they discovered heroin, leading to the charge of possession with intent to sell. They also discovered a concealed firearm, according to officials. It is unknown if Uribe had a permit for the weapon.
“If you’re going to visit Santa Clarita, and then drive on the wrong side of the road and have possession of heroin for sales along with a concealed firearm, we’ve got the perfect place for you—it’s called the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail,” said Miller.
The suspect was arrested and charged with one felony count of possession of heroin with the intent to sell, according to arrest logs. Officials did not disclose if he was charged with any other felonies.
