A Kern County Sheriff’s Office sergeant has been arrested on felony rape charges. Steven Wells, 45, was apprehended on Friday on charges which also included burglary. He’s a defendant in a lawsuit brought against Kern County by a former sheriff’s deputy who said she dated him. The woman claims Wells tried to rip her clothes off after bursting into her home drunk and demanding sex. He’s being held on $240,000 bail and goes to court on Tuesday.
