Amazon Employee Assaulted In Valencia

Deputies are investigating after four suspects allegedly assaulted an Amazon employee in Valencia Wednesday. 

Around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, deputies received reports of an assault near the Starbucks on the 28100 block of The Old Road in Valencia, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. 

“(It was) reported four male Hispanic adults exited a Ford Ranger and attacked a male white adult,” Arriaga said.

The victim, Jonathan, an off-duty Amazon employee in uniform, was on his way to work when the assault happened.  

“I was sitting in my car, and someone came up and spit on my window,” Jonathan said. “I got out of my car and asked him why he spit on my window. He didn’t want to talk, he just came up to me, cussed at me and punched me in the face. He didn’t give me any warnings like ‘put your hands up’ or ‘let’s fight’, he just sucker-punched me in the face.”

The four suspects fled out of view and remain at large.

  1. Give all four douchebags hate crime and felony assault charges and after completing a lengthy sentence release them with a restraining order for the Santa Clarita Valley. The time has arrived to stop all violent and rape crimes at whatever cost, period, end of the story.

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.
