The California Attorney General's Office has charged former Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner with three felony counts of child abuse and two counts of possessing assault weapons, following a comprehensive investigation. The case was transferred to the state due to a potential conflict of interest, as Scrivner's aunt is the local District Attorney. Scrivner had resigned from his position citing health issues, but allegations of serious misconduct have emerged. His attorney has denied the allegations, asserting he possesses evidence to refute the claims against Scrivner.
Following "an extensive investigation" by the state justice department, Scrivner is facing three felony counts of child abuse and two counts of possessing assault weapons.
No one is above the law," Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement Friday announcing the charges. "At the California Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the people of California and hold those who break the law accountable.
In April 2024, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said in a news conference that Zimmer had contacted the sheriff and said Scrivner was armed at his Tehachapi home and appeared to be having "some type of psychotic episode."
Scrivner's attorney, H.A. Sala, has denied the sexual assault allegation in comments to the media, saying he has proof that disproves the sheriff's claim.
