http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BreakingNewsTeam/30573 Sheriff&rsquo;s deputies assigned to Kern County Superior Court had to use pepper spray to break up a fight that erupted between two groups of women in front of the downtown Bakersfield courthouse Tuesday morning. What apparently began inside the courthouse as a verbal exchange between two families escalated into a physical confrontation outside the glass doors of the county justice building at Truxtun and Chester avenues. Three women were arrested on charges of fighting in public and others were left with stinging eyes after more than a half-dozen deputies assigned to the court responded to the disturbance. Court bailiffs try to anticipate and head off conflicts between opposing parties inside individual courtrooms. They will eject people in the gallery who appear to be inciting problems. And those who try to communicate with in-custody defendants are told to leave. But emotions can run high when so much is at stake. It's a wonder that such incidents aren't more common in Kern's courts. Maybe it's a true testament to the work done by court bailiffs every day. What do you think?

The californian news needs to update the story on how it took place regarding that man! He is NOT innocent at all. Now regarding the fight  Quemesha and Karnesha are the ones who started the whole thing name calling, and then tried to jump my aunt Diane Bell from behind. Miss Walker was protecting my aunt and herself from theses Hood Rats! As a matter of fact Quemesha is the one who gave Michael Montgomery her car keys KNOWING her boyfriend was drunk therefor I feel she as well should be punished and sent to jail. Thanks to Audrey B and Husbandmaterial.</p> http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BreakingNewsTeam/30573/#c_279698 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BreakingNewsTeam/30573/#c_279698 <p>To all who are wondering how and what here it goes, I am related to victum Rianna Zamarripa who died in the car crash, Michael Montgomery is trying to say he is innocent when the truth is he was drunk and tried to run from the scence, but due to his small injuries he couldnt get far.
