Deputies and California Highway Patrol Officers established a perimeter to contain Valdez. The KCSO SWAT Team responded and searched the area with the assistance of K-9 units. Valdez was located and arrested.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the community for their assistance in locating Valdez.
