A no-bail parolee was hospitalized Friday after allegedly resisting law enforcement in Saugus, and is now facing multiple charges, officials said.

On Friday around 12 p.m., deputies responded to the 22500 block of Garzota Drive regarding a business disturbance call, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“The call stated that a male adult was swinging a large stick, threatening the employees,” Miller said.

Upon making contact, deputies noticed the suspect had a strong odor of alcohol, according to Sheriff’s officials.

The suspect allegedly was uncooperative and combative with deputies, Miller said.

After a brief struggle, the suspect was sent to the hospital for injuries, according to officials on scene.

Christopher Mercurio, 48, of Granada Hills, was arrested on a felony charge of willfully resisting a peace officer; a drunk in public charge, a misdemeanor; and a parole violation felony, Miller said.

Mercurio was transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station after being treated at the hospital and was given no bail, according to arrest records.
