Bakersfield, Kern County, CA: Around 11:25 p.m. Wednesday, Apr. 20, a Bakersfield Police K-9 Officer, Brock Mueller, and his partner Mondo were involved in a crash on Panama Lane and Colony Street in the city of Bakersfield. Officer Mueller had just left the scene of a vehicle pursuit when the crash occurred just a few blocks away.
