A DUI suspect was arrested Monday evening after he allegedly crashed into a pole and fought with deputies in the Valencia Walmart parking lot.
Around 7:30 p.m. Monday, deputies responded to a suspected DUI crash at the Walmart on the 27900 block of Kelly Johnson Parkway, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“Deputies arrived on scene and saw a vehicle had collided into a tree and cement light pole base. The suspect fled on foot,” Arriaga said.
Deputies were directed to the suspects last known location, according to officials.
“As deputies contacted the suspect, he became uncooperative and a brief struggle ensued,” Arriaga said. “A short period later, the suspect was detained without further incident.”
During the investigation, deputies determined the suspect had been driving a vehicle while under the influence of an inhalant, Arriaga said.
Charles Burnsmann, 49, from Saugus, was arrested for driving under the influence, resisting/obstructing an officer and misdemeanor hit and run, Arriaga said.
Burnsmann remains in custody as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Arriaga.
