Less than a week after a Sheriff’s Special Victims Detective was stabbed in a Jack-In-The-Box, a Special Assignment Team (SAT) conducted a patrol in the same area to monitor possible gang activity.
“We’ll do whatever it takes to keep SCV safe,” said the SCV Station in a Facebook post. “Our Special Assignment Team has been keeping busy with conducting directed patrol in Newhall and Canyon Country– especially in areas where residents have expressed concerns over possible gang activity.”
They conducted several traffic stops and pedestrian stops over the last few days–making notes of who they encountered.
Arrests were made for possession of narcotics paraphernalia and possession of methamphetamine, said officials.
On Wednesday, while patrolling Canyon Country, near Soledad Canyon Road and Crossglade Avenue, deputies made contact with a known gang member, an adult male Hispanic, 34, who was arrested on a $50,000 narcotic sales warrant.
On Friday, SAT team deputies located a ‘Parolee at Large’ when they conducted a traffic stop and the driver, Jonathan Blankenship, age 34, had a No Bail Parole violation for car theft. He was also found to be in possession of heroin.
His passenger, a female white adult, age 31, was in possession of methamphetamine, a scale, baggies, and U.S. Currency. They were both arrested, transported and booked at SCV Sheriff’s Station.
This week, SAT team deputies will keep on conducting directed patrol in Newhall and Canyon Country–making their presence known.

Canyon Country has become worse, in my opinion. My daughter witnessed about 3 drug deals go down the other evening while she was getting gas at the USA station at Soledad & Whites. Just a couple of blocks from the Jack in the Box location A gentleman was beaten badly on his own front porch by 2 teens on bicycles who were messing with vehicles in the vicinity and they thought that he had gotten a cell phone photo of them. What is it coming to? I no longer take walks in the neighborhood nor do I feel safe riding on the bike paths!
