A 19-year-old Saugus woman was arrested for DUI and evasion after reportedly driving recklessly in the parking lot of Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Around 10:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Newhall Area Office were notified of an erratic driver in the parking lot of Six Flags Magic Mountain, said Officer Carlos Burgos-Lopez, a spokesperson for the CHP. 

“The driver had been asked to leave by security prior to erratic driving behavior,” Burgos-Lopez said. “CHP units located the vehicle and attempted to conduct an enforcement stop; however, the driver fled.” 

CHP units conducted a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) on the vehicle, which brought the chase to an end.

Kayla Chavez, 19, from Saugus, was arrested for misdemeanor fleeing/evading, trespassing, driving on a suspended license, and driving under the influence while under the age of 21, according to Burgos-Lopez. 

Chavez was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail.
