Two people were arrested in Valencia early Friday morning after deputies reportedly found a loaded, unregistered firearm in a hidden panel inside of their vehicle, along with several narcotics.
At around 1:30 a.m. Friday, deputies with the Santa Clarita were patrolling in Valencia when they came across a vehicle in a gas station with a “strong odor of marijuana emitting from inside the car.”
“Deputies contacted the occupants of the vehicle and observed some marijuana exposure inside the car,” wrote Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the station, in an official post Friday.
When deputies spoke to the man and woman inside the car, they reportedly learned that the man’s driver’s license was suspended, and the woman’s was fake. This prompted deputies to search the car.

“During a search of the vehicle, deputies noticed two panels inside the car appeared to have been previously removed,” Arriaga wrote. “After inspecting one panel, deputies located an unregistered semi-automatic firearm, along with ammunition.”
Additionally, deputies reportedly found several narcotics inside the vehicle during their search.
Deputies proceeded to arrest the pair on multiple charges, including possession of a loaded and unregistered handgun, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a firearm, and forgery of a California seal.
Both were taken to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail for booking. The man, 27-year-old Kevin Redd, was given a bail of $50,000, while the woman, 20-year-old Selena Williams, was given a bail of $60,000, according to arrest logs.
