A man was arrested on several narcotics charges after he was found asleep at the wheel of his vehicle north of Santa Clarita earlier in the week.

A deputy conducting a patrol check of a business in the 49000 block of Gorman School Road in Gorman observed a man asleep at the steering wheel of his parked vehicle, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

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.
