Wanted Palmdale Man Arrested After Routine Traffic Stop

A Palmdale man was arrested on a slew of warrants after he was stopped for registration violations. 

Around 7:55 p.m. Tuesday, California Highway Patrol (CHP) Newhall Area units conducted a traffic stop on a white Infiniti G35 on Sand Canyon Road east of the 14 Freeway in Canyon Country due to a registration violation, said Officer Carlos Burgos-Lopez, spokesperson for the CHP Newhall Area Office.

“Upon contacting the driver, it was determined he had multiple warrants for his arrest,” Burgos-Lopez said. “The warrants included a 20,000 dollar warrant for assault and battery, a 50,000 dollar warrant for vandalism and a 5,000-traffic related warrant.”

Ruben Martinez, 26, from Palmdale, was placed under arrest for his warrants out of Palmdale, according to officials.

He was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail.

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.
