Drug and alcohol-related arrests continue to make up the bulk of all weekend arrests in Santa Clarita
Over the weekend of Friday April 30 to Sunday May 2, Santa Clarita law enforcement booked 21 total arrests, matching the number of arrests from the previous weekend.
This decrease in arrests follows the recent trend, with continued low numbers of weekend arrests. Since approximately February, arrests have been steadily decreasing and have seemingly begun to rest around 20 per weekend.
Though the overall number of arrests decreased this weekend, the total number of arrests made for drug and alcohol related offenses was still a staggering 14, making up a distressing 66 percent of all arrests.
