A parolee and his driver were taken into custody Tuesday on several felony charges including drug sales after a routine Valencia traffic stop, officials said.

On Tuesday around 11 a.m., a deputy patrolling on McBean Parkway near Decoro Drive in Valencia observed a vehicle driving with a broken tail light, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

“The deputy conducted a traffic stop in order to warn/cite the driver,” Arriaga said.

While speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, the deputy learned the passenger was on active parole, according to officials.

“The deputy conducted a parole compliance search of the passenger and vehicle and recovered several individualized containers of narcotics, as well as drug paraphernalia and brass knuckles,” Arriaga said.

Upon contacting the driver the deputy recovered additional narcotics and drug paraphernalia during a search of her person and property, according to Arriaga.
