Santa Clarita gas thief arrested by Palmdale deputies

by K. Enrique • November 15, 2012

Joseph Carlos Beltran

PALMDALE – A 22-year-old college student accused of stealing gas in Santa Clarita and then stabbing in the neck the person who interrupted him was captured in Palmdale this week, authorities said.

Joseph Carlos Beltran was arrested by Palmdale Sheriff’s Station patrol deputies around 9:29 p.m., Tuesday (Nov. 13), after deputies discovered he had an outstanding felony arrest warrant, according to deputy Joshua Dubin of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.

Santa Clarita Sheriff’s deputies had obtained a $90,000 arrest warrant for Beltran and released his photo and physical description to the media last week.

According to the bulletin, on September 5, 2012, Beltran was spotted siphoning gas from a vehicle in the 18500 block of Soledad Canyon Road, near Sierra Highway.

When a man questioned Beltran about what he was doing, Beltran allegedly stabbed the man in the neck with a writing pen and then fled the scene, officials said.

The victim was not seriously injured, according to published reports.

Beltran was described as a student at College of the Canyons who lived in the Castaic area and possibly drove a 1987 white Mercedes Benz.

Beltran remains jailed without bail, and was due to appear in court today to answer charges.

    But he was just misunderstood! He did a life of good deeds! He gave half the gas he stole to the needy! The pen must have slipped out of his hands, gained force, and entered the victim through some accident!

    I kid, sick of people saying crap like that in a serious way.

    Glad they busted this punk, and glad the victim survived. Not surprised the trash has ties to the AV and tries to hideout here. It’s an epidemic of low life punks moving to the AV.

        He was probably there just to pick up chicks, or taking criminal justice classes for his gang.

          At 22, he could have just gotten started on his Masters Degree. Such a shame.

            And why in the world does your comment have two dislikes? Whoever disliked that he actually could be starting his masters should be banned from living.

            Something tells me, New2AV, that the two dislikers are shaved head, thin mustache, “college students” like the one in this story.
