Assault With A Deadly Weapon Suspect Arrested After Pointing Gun At Victim

An assault with a deadly weapon suspect was arrested Tuesday afternoon after he allegedly pointed a gun at a person last month, officials said.

On Nov. 29 around 2:30 a.m., the victim, an adult male in his 20s, and the suspect reportedly got into a verbal argument, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“The argument escalated and the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm at the victim, threatening him,” Miller said.

Before deputies arrived, the suspect fled the area, according to officials.

On Tuesday around 3:30 p.m., deputies conducted a felony traffic stop on a vehicle near Jakes Way and Sierra Highway, where deputies took the suspect into custody, according to Sheriff’s officials.

Guillermo Martinez, 20, of Newhall, was arrested by detectives on felony assault with a deadly weapon charges, Miller said.

Martinez was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station with bail set at $50,000, according to arrest records.

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.
