Two Armed Felons Booked For Multiple Offenses After Using Narcotics In Public

Two armed felons were arrested on a slew of charges Saturday after they were allegedly found using narcotics in Saugus. 

Around 9:45 a.m. Saturday, a call for service was received reporting two occupants in a parked vehicle using narcotics on the 26500 block of Bouquet Canyon Road in Saugus, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.   

“Deputies approached the vehicle and saw drug paraphernalia within their reach,” Arriaga said. 

A man and woman were detained pending a narcotics investigation, according to Sheriff’s officials.  

“A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of drug paraphernalia, heroin, cut copper pipes, tools commonly used for theft and a loaded firearm,” Arriaga said.   

Joshua Ray, 39, from Riverside and Chrystal Coppenger, 40, from Ontario, both convicted felons, were booked for several felony charges including felon in possession of ammunition, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a firearm, grand theft, and more, Arriaga said.  

They were both booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and remain in custody as of Monday afternoon, according to Arriaga.

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.
