Some of today's top stories
It's been more than two weeks since Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner was accused of sexually assaulting a child.
His whereabouts since that night have remained unknown.
But Scrivner's attorney H-A Sala released a statement, saying his Scrivner is on "a medical leave of absence."The statement went on to say Kern's interim Chief Administrative Officer was notified of the leave on Monday.
It does not say how long the leave will last.
It comes after Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting in which Scrivner was noticably absent.
Scrivner has not been arrested and he has not been charged with any crimes
Now to your 17 crime watch and a plea this morning from the family of a woman who was shot to death two weeks ago in East Bakersfield.
The man arrested in connection to the death of Margarita "Maggie" Lopez has since been released from custody.
17's Cecilia Trevino has more on the family's search for justice.Three pounds.
That's how much marijuana the Bakersfield Police Department says a local woman tried to turn over to BPD headquarters last week. We've been tracking this story closely.
Last Friday Erica de La Rosa called 911 when some elementary students found a box full of marijuana stashed behind some bushes near McCullough Elementary School.
Dispatchers told her to take it to the police station.
But de La Rosa claims personnel turned her away when she got there, saying the lobby was closed.
That's when she called us.
Officers finally came to de La Rosa's door last Saturday.
They confiscated the marijuana, telling her to throw away the drug paraphrenalia left in the box.
We reached out to BPD for comment on this story.
Police explained the delay, saying the calls from De La Rosa weren't a priority that day because the marijuana didn't pose an immediate threat to the public.
