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.

Yo Mama says
Can you dig it, Sed? 12 years of basic education would’ve cleared that up….
Bob says
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.
Raptorman says
He should have just waited for his Obama stash money!
Yo Mama says
Oh, don’t worry. They’ll figure out a reason to give it to him anyway…
Chris says
Big surprise, Castaic is so ghetto!
Sedrick says
College student?? Gimme a break. If that isn’t a homie, gangster haircut I don’t know what is. Punk can’t even grow a decent moustache.
Bob says
He was probably there just to pick up chicks, or taking criminal justice classes for his gang.
Otto says
At 22, he could have just gotten started on his Masters Degree. Such a shame.
New2AV says
Well now he can get his Masters in [removed] cause this poor excuse of a man will meet Bubba in the showers. They gonna love his shaved smoothed head.
New2AV says
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.
Otto says
Something tells me, New2AV, that the two dislikers are shaved head, thin mustache, “college students” like the one in this story.
