Saugus Man Arrested for Brandishing Firearm at Automotive Employee
A 62-year-old Saugus resident, Gary Pitts, was arrested last week after allegedly brandishing a firearm during a dispute at an automotive business. The incident occurred around 12 p.m. on Friday in the 17000 block of Sierra Highway, Canyon Country, according to Deputy Mariela Picard from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
Deputies responded to a call regarding criminal threats and found that Pitts had displayed a weapon while threatening an employee over a recently purchased vehicle. He was subsequently arrested for felony terrorizing, which caused fear.
Pitts was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station jail, where his bail has been set at $30,000.
