A convicted felon was arrested after he was found with a firearm following an argument on the side of the 14 Freeway in Canyon Country early Sunday.
Around 2:45 a.m. Sunday, officers with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) received reports of a disabled vehicle on the northbound 14 Freeway near Golden Valley Road in Canyon Country, according to Officer Josh Greengard, spokesperson for the CHP Newhall area office.
“CHP officers located the vehicle on the right shoulder with two parties outside the vehicle in a verbal argument,” Greengard said.
When officers contacted the two individuals, they determined the driver to be intoxicated, according to Greengard.
During a search of the vehicle, officers located a loaded firearm, according to Greengard.
Daniel Zamora, 31, from Palmdale, was arrested for misdemeanor DUI and possession of a firearm while being a convicted felon, a felony, Greengard added.
Zamora was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station with bail set at $35,000, according to arrest records.

Many thanks to our CHP officers for getting these scumbags off our roads and highways.
Glad Felon Zamora’s car was disabled before he could crash or shoot and kill somebody! The long drive to lovely Palmdale had lots of possible dangers for innocent people!
“… misdemeanor DUI and possession of a firearm while being a convicted felon, a felony” yet still not enough to get a stay in jail. Classic.
Recall GasCON!
Guess gun laws really don’t work..
unless you are a law abiding citizen
That is a very good point. Crimminals are not willing to obey laws. More laws is not the solution.
And watch today’s election. Stupid people will still vote for the same Democrats that do nothing but destroy. I give up!
Go back to school! It will help you.
