Deputies arrested a man Tuesday who allegedly pointed a fake gun out the window of his car as he drove around Castaic, officials said.

Riley Herrera, 19, was arrested on suspicion of brandishing an imitation firearm, a misdemeanor, said Shirley Miller, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

Around 6 p.m. deputies responded to the 28600 block of Oak Hill Court in Castaic after reports of a suspicious person in a car who potentially had a weapon, Miller said.

“The caller stated a male pointed a black handgun out the car window as it passed by,” she said. Deputies contacted the suspect, later identified as Herrera, and discovered a black “BB gun” in his car.

The Glendale man was arrested and booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s station. Bail was set at $15,000, and Herrera was released from custody Wednesday.

He is scheduled to appear at the Newhall Municipal Court at the Santa Clarita Courthouse on Aug. 15.
