Narcotics, Weapons Recovered After Traffic Stop In Santa Clarita

A man was arrested on Tuesday after several weapons and narcotics were found in his vehicle during a traffic stop in Santa Clarita.

Around 9 a.m. Tuesday, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with multiple code violations on Alaminos Drive near Tothill Drive in Saugus, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“Upon contacting the male adult driver, (deputies) observed he had multiple knives concealed on his person,” Arriaga said.

While speaking with the driver, deputies learned he was in possession of narcotics and a firearm inside the vehicle, according to Arriaga.

“Deputies conducted a search of the car and recovered various amounts of methamphetamine and an unsecured, loaded firearm,” she said.

Juan Polanco, 34, from San Fernando, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded firearm, a felony, Arriaga added.

Polanco was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s jail with bail set at $50,000, according to arrest records.

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.
