On June 15, 2017, the Kern County Sheriff's Office Rural Crime Investigation Unit received information from a local farmer regarding a truck and a chemical trailer stuck in a field near Millux Road and Hill Road. The farmer was not familiar with the subject driving the truck and requested law enforcement respond.
When Kern County Sheriff's Office Rural Crime Detectives arrived, they contacted the driver of the truck, JOSEPH GEIGER (47) of Taft, California.
