Local California Highway Patrol officers arrested two men in separate incidents involving reports of child endangerment over the weekend, according to an email statement by Officer Carlos Burgos-Lopez with the CHP’s Newhall-area Office. 

A man was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment after a reported physical altercation at around 11:46 p.m. near State Route 14 and Sand Canyon Road on Friday, according to the statement from Burgos-Lopez. 

Officers were advised of a “be on the lookout” broadcast in connection with an incident involving a red and gray Chevrolet Silverado, according to the email statement. 

Officers responded to the area and were able to locate the vehicle northbound on SR-14 south of Red Rover Mine Road, according to the statement. 

CHP officers conducted an enforcement stop on the vehicle and investigated, the statement said. 

The 44-year-old Lancaster man was arrested on suspicion of a misdemeanor DUI and felony child endangerment, Burgos-Lopez’s statement said. 

The man was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, according to the statement. 

In the early hours of Saturday, another man was arrested on suspicion of a DUI and child endangerment, too, according to the email statement from Burgos-Lopez.  

CHP officers were advised once again of another BOLO broadcast for a blue Volkswagen Jetta traveling at high speeds on SR-14 southbound just north of Escondido Canyon Road, Burgos-Lopez’s statement said. 

An officer located the vehicle and conducted an enforcement stop on Sierra Highway and Placerita Canyon Road, according to the statement. 

The 30-year-old Los Angeles man was arrested on suspicion of a misdemeanor DUI and felony child endangerment, the statement said. 

He was booked at the SCV Sheriff’s Station, according to Burgos-Lopez’s statement.
