It started as a simple call of a suspicious man looking to possibly break into a car, and turned into a near death experience for a Kern County Sheriff’s Deputy. When deputies responded to calls from the Sierra Vista Mobile Home Park in Rosamond early Friday morning, 19 year-old Edgar Rojas was armed. Sheriff Donny Youngblood says Deputy Michael Valdez was shot in the head…

Valdez somehow only needed a few stitches, and was treated and released from the hospital. The bullet ended up in Valdez’s hat. Rojas faces several charges, including attempted murder.
