Person Dies From Apparent Fentanyl Overdose In Saugus 

Another Santa Clarita resident died from an apparent fentanyl overdose in Saugus Wednesday.

Around 9:40 a.m. Wednesday, first responders received reports of an apparent fentanyl overdose on the 28000 block of Newbird Drive in Saugus, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

L.A. County Firefighters pronounced the patient dead on arrival, according to Arriaga.

  1. Secure the boarders and I bet we’ll see less of the drug.
    But we have newsom & democrats who really seem to careless about a problem unless they can control the average citizen

  2. Thanks Liberals & Xiden for open borders with this and other atrocities 24/7! CCP coming to your neighborhood soon!

  3. You two do not believe that the Cartels are using the oceans the skies,trucks, cars etc to bring drugs into the US?
    Very shortsighted. I would be concerned about the price of medications and those killed with atomic weapons. We are not cleaning up our own life threatening items in our on backyard. There is enough blame to go around. Who is keeping reasonable medications and adult weapons from bing addressed?

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
