J-Team Discusses Growing Danger Of Narcotics In Santa Clarita
Officials with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Juvenile Intervention Team, (J-Team) discussed the dangers of narcotics and signs to look for if someone is possibly using them in a special segment with KHTS.
With drugs continuously getting stronger, drugs that are not believed to be as problematic are becoming more dangerous, even for adult users.
“Parents will say, ‘they’re only smoking marijuana.’ But the THC content is getting so strong and that it can just cause a lot of the youth or the people using it to hallucinate,” said Robby Robinson, a drug intervention specialist for the J-Team. “I heard a gentleman tell me that ‘the drugs are not good unless he overdoses,’ and he always had Narcan so he can get out of it.”

Jensen was not the only person to be arrested on similar weapons charges on Tuesday. That same day, a deputy with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station was reportedly patrolling in Valencia when they saw a vehicle driving in the area with no front license plate displayed.
The deputy proceeded to conduct a traffic stop to warn and cite the driver. After making contact, the deputy learned that the man behind the wheel was not only a convicted felon on active parole, but also driving on a suspended license.
“A search of his vehicle resulted in the recovery of narcotics, drug paraphernalia, as well as a loaded short barrel rifle and a large bag of ammunition,” wrote Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, in an official post Wednesday morning.
