A transient was arrested Sunday after she allegedly attempted to take a deputy’s firearm while he was investigating a 911 hang up call in Valencia.

Around 7:20 p.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a welfare check in the 24200 block of Valencia Boulevard in Valencia, regarding a 911 call from a female adult who then disconnected the line, said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

Upon arrival, deputies located the woman who called 911. 

“During the interaction, (the suspect) attempted to grab the deputy’s holstered firearm,” Miller said.

Abigail Arnold, 31, a transient, was arrested on felony charges of attempting to remove a firearm from a peace officer, according to Miller.

She was transported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail, where she was booked and remains in custody without bail.
