A Stevenson Ranch man wanted on a $75,000 warrant was arrested Tuesday after reports of a person staying in a public restroom for about an hour, according to local law enforcement officials.
Jesus Ivan Chavez, 28, was taken to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail after he was arrested on the warrant and narcotics charges.
