A man found flicking ashes from a lit cigarette led to his arrest for several felony charges.

On Friday, Deputies patrolling the 28400 block of Sand Canyon Road in Canyon Country spotted a man smoking a lit cigarette and flicking the ashes into the road, said Deputy Robert Jensen, a spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Deputies made contact with the occupants of the vehicle and discovered the suspect was on felony probation out of Ventura County and his vehicle registration was expired since 2017,” Jensen said.

When deputies conducted a probation compliance check they recovered credit cards and pieces of mail not belonging to any of the individuals in the car, according to Sheriff’s officials.

Nicholas Wombacher, 26, from Carlsbad was arrested for being in possession of access cards with the intent to defraud, receiving known stolen property, and possession of a controlled substance, and being in possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Jensen.

The vehicle was also towed.

Wombacher was arrested and booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail and released to appear in court at a later date.
