Sheriff Youngblood on-air Wednesday
BY JAMIE BUTOW Californian columnist jbutow@bakersfield.com
Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood will be on First Look with Scott Cox Wednesday morning.
Youngblood will be making his first appearance in the Dignity Healthcare Studio during the 8 o'clock hour to talk with Scott about all things related to public safety. (And if you heard today's show, they'll probably discuss dogs as Youngblood reportedly has five Chihuahuas.)
Post your questions for the Sheriff in the comments below and we'll try to get them answered, or you can call in during the show at 842-KERN.
First Look with Scott Cox airs 7-10 a.m. weekdays on Bakersfield.com and NewsTalk 1180 KERN radio. Call in: 842-KERN
