Newhall, CA – A 49-year-old man from Arleta was arrested after allegedly brandishing a firearm toward another driver in Newhall, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
CHP–Newhall officers responded to the report on November 18, 2025, locating the suspect vehicle shortly after the incident. During an enforcement stop, officers recovered a concealed, unserialized firearm, authorities said.
The suspect was arrested on multiple charges, including brandishing a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle, and possession of an unserialized or unregistered firearm, according to CHP officials.
Authorities urged the public to avoid direct confrontation if they witness dangerous or criminal behavior on the road. “Create distance, be a good witness, and call 9-1-1. Your safety comes first,” CHP stated in a social media post.
The investigation remains ongoing.
