The incident was called in around 2 pm, concerning an individual in distress near the 58 and Oswell bridge. Officials tell 23ABC that the person was uncooperative and required a larger police presence. Several officers then moved to confront the person, who was eventually taken into custody. No one was injured. The person was reportedly taken to Kern Medical for a mental health evaluation. 23ABC will share more details as they become available.
