Posted

Bakersfield police made an arrest in the Craigslist exchange that turned sour Sunday night.

Police arrested Christopher Wilkinson, 22, for attempted murder in the Craigslist meet up that began at Riverwalk Park and ended with a robbery and shots fired in southwest Bakersfield.

Wilkinson was the driver in the vehicle that fired shots. Since he was with the shooter and co-conspirator he got charged with the same crimes as the shooter, according to Bakersfield police.

BPD has not arrested the shooter.
