A passenger on a Santa Clarita Valley Transit bus was arrested on felony criminal threats charges Tuesday after he allegedly stated he was armed with a firearm at the Valencia mall.
Around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to a business at the Westfield Valencia Town Center Mall on the 24200 block of Valencia Boulevard regarding a possible assault with a deadly weapon involving a possible firearm, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“The call stated a male adult had made verbal threats while inside the business and was last seen entering a Santa Clarita City Bus,” Arriaga said.
The bus was located and stopped on Magic Mountain Parkway and Town Center Drive, where deputies were able to detain a man matching the suspect description on the bus without incident, according to Arriaga.
“The male detained was positively identified as the suspect from the incident by the victims,” Arriaga said.
Deputies searched the suspect and his property, however, no firearm was found, according to officials.
Robert White, 34, from Canyon Country was arrested on one felony count of criminal threats, Arriaga added.
White was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with bail set at $50,000, according to arrest records.
