In February 2016, Kern County Sheriff Officials said a man attempted to burglarize a home in the 200 block of Hiem Lane when the homeowner pulled a gun on the suspect.

The homeowner, Craig Manning, fired two warning shots in the air at which point the suspect ran away from the property. 

The suspect was eventually caught in the 1700 block of Sierra Vista.
