Deputies arrested a homeless woman Thursday on multiple arrest warrants and for illegally being in possession of a baton, according to officials.  

On Thursday, deputies made contact with a suspect while conducting patrol checks in a Canyon Country shopping center parking lot on the 19350 block of Soledad Canyon Road and discovered she was in violation of multiple offenses, said Shirley Miller, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. 

“The suspect was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant for identity theft,” Miller said. 

Deputies also found a metal baton and pepper spray in the suspect’s vehicle, according to officials.  

“The suspect had multiple prior criminal convictions,” Miller said.  

Alexandra Moritz, 30, a Winnetka transient, was charged with the warrants and a felony for being in possession of a baton and a misdemeanor for an addict in possession of pepper spray, Miller said.
