There were three other individuals in the home who were not taken into custody.
Witnesses reported deputies arrived on scene around 5 a.m. at the otherwise quiet residential neighborhood.
Social media posts and comments from neighbors indicated there was frequent activity at the home that was suspicious to nearby residents.
The arrests occurred about four-tenths of a mile from where a fatal overdose took place in the bathroom of Bouquet Canyon Park, on Wellston Drive.
Hospital officials confirmed there was one fatal overdose, identified by medical examiners as David Alexander Esquivel, 28, of Castaic, who died in the restroom — in addition to nine other patients who were treated, and all survived, in a 48-hour period toward the end of April.
All of the reported overdose cases were men and women in their 20s or younger, officials said.
