Over the weekend, the number of arrests in the Santa Clarita Valley was within a normal range, but drug and alcohol-related crimes spiked.

Tied for first, there were DUIs and possession of drugs, with four people being arrested for each crime. Additionally, there was a single person arrested for possession of drugs with the intent to sell.

Even though these were the most common reasons for being taken into custody, there were far worse crimes being committed.

One of those was a 44-year-old Canyon Country man who was arrested for child abuse. Other notable arrests include a 47-year-old Long Beach man arrested for arson, and others arrested for grand theft, hit and run and a person who was using a fake registration.
