Two men were arrested on a slew of charges in Newhall during a routine traffic stop last week.

Early Friday morning, at approximately 1 a.m., SAT (Special Assignment Team) deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station conducted a traffic stop in Newhall on Placerita Canyon Road off the 14 freeway, according to SCV Station officials. 

The two men, Ricardo Alonzo, 30, and Claudio Valencia, 37, were found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia, shaved keys and a loaded unserialized firearm, according to Natalie Arriaga, spokeswoman for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
