Deputies doing routine probation searches in Santa Clarita on Thursday arrested 27-year old Chrstian Aparicio when he was found at his Plum Canyon home with marijuana, heroin and a loaded gun.

Arriving at his home, deputies were admitted by a family member and were met by Aparicio at the door of his room. He was holding a pill bottle containing marijuana and after a brief search of his room, deputies found a small amount of heroin and a loaded firearm.

Because of his previous conviction, Aparicio faces felony charges on the controlled substance and loaded firearm possession, as well as being in violation of his probation. He is being held without bail at the Santa Clarita Valley sheriff’s station.
