Deputies arrested two individuals in Newhall Monday morning for allegedly being in possession of narcotics for sale, officials said.    

Around 1 a.m., deputies were conducting a patrol check at the Park and Ride that is located at Newhall Avenue and Sierra Highway, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Deputies made contact with an adult male and an adult female in a sedan,” she said. “While speaking to the male adult, deputies observed that he was exhibiting signs of being under the influence.”

After further investigation, deputies found the couple to allegedly be in possession of methamphetamine, narcotics paraphernalia, a large quantity of U.S. currency and items consistent with that of narcotic sales, Miller said.

Michael Scudder, 53, of Sylmar, and Jenifer Cononico, 42, of Northridge, were both arrested and charged with multiple felony narcotics charges, including possession of a controlled substance for sales.  

Both suspects were transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, where they were booked, according to officials.

Scudder’s bail was set at $34,250 and Cononico’s bail was set at $32,250, according to arrest records.
