A suspect was taken into custody Saturday morning by California Highway Patrol officers after he allegedly brandished a firearm on the 14 Freeway, officials said.

On Saturday around 10:30 a.m., CHP officers responded to a call of a man brandishing a gun on the 14 Freeway near Escondido Canyon Road in Canyon Country, said Eric Priessman, a spokesperson with the CHP Newhall Area Office.

“While speaking to the victims, the suspect drove past the officers on Soledad Canyon Road,” Priessman said.

The officers conducted a felony traffic stop on Sand Canyon Road near Soledad Canyon Road, and located a firearm and four loaded magazines in the vehicle.

As of Tuesday morning, it remains unclear what prompted the suspect to allegedly brandish the firearm, Priessman said.

The suspect was arrested and transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail.
