Drunk Man Arrested After Shattering Van Window In Newhall

A drunk man was arrested on felony vandalism Wednesday afternoon after he allegedly broke a van window in Newhall.

Around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, deputies responded to 8th Street and Railroad Avenue in Newhall regarding a reported vandalism, said Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

During their investigation, deputies learned the suspect broke the window to a van parked near the intersection, according to Arriaga.

Prior to deputies arriving on scene, the suspect was observed walking on Railroad Avenue in oncoming traffic yelling profanities at passing vehicles, according to officials on scene.

“While speaking with him, deputies smelled a strong odor of alcohol emitting from the suspect,” Arriaga said.

The suspect was positively identified as the individual responsible for breaking the van window by a reporting witness during a field show, according to Sheriff’s officials.

German Olmosanedo, 43, from Santa Paula, was arrested for felony vandalism and a misdemeanor count of being drunk in public, Arriaga added.

Olmosanedo was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with bail set at $20,000, 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.
