Summary:
On March 4, 2021, deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Station were dispatched to a single vehicle accident on Foothill Boulevard near Spruce Avenue. When deputies arrived, they found a vehicle had gone over the curb and struck a light pole. The light pole had fallen and blocked two of the westbound lanes.
Deputies contacted the driver, identified as Victor Castaneda, who was sitting near-by with his two minor children. Deputies immediately smelled alcohol coming from Castaneda and conducted field sobriety tests. Castaneda could not complete the tests and when deputies searched the vehicle, they found a marijuana pipe and a clear jar containing marijuana. At the conclusion of the investigation, deputies arrested Castaneda for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and child cruelty. The children were released to their mother and Castaneda was booked in at the West Valley Detention Center where he remains in custody on $125,000 bail.
