BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — A Kern County Sheriff's Department sergeant was arrested Tuesday morning on multiple felony charges, including second-degree burglary and being under the influence of a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm.
Sgt. Ryan Dunbier faces additional misdemeanor charges of destroying or concealing evidence. Sources tell 23ABC that a month-long investigation led to his arrest and involved Dunbier allegedly stealing from the department's property room.
