Drunk Man Arrested After Throwing Object At Deputy Vehicle In Santa Clarita

A drunk man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly threw an object at a deputy’s vehicle in Santa Clarita.

Around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday, a deputy traveling northbound on Sand Canyon near Lost Canyon Roads in Canyon Country observed a man walking on the sidewalk throwing an unknown object at his patrol vehicle, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

While speaking with the detained individual, the deputy detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath and person, according to Sheriff’s officials.  

Richard Peterson, 62, from Santa Cruz, was arrested for being drunk in public and throwing objects at a moving vehicle, both misdemeanors, Arriaga added. 

Peterson was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail with bail set at $0, according to arrest records.

  1. Moral of the story.
    Don’t be drunk in public
    Don’t throw stuff at any moving vehicle

    Glad the deputies & civilians on the road are ok.

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.
