No one was hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Zeigler was arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Kern County Court, charged with shooting into an inhabited dwelling and carrying a loaded firearm, both felonies. Public Defender Christopher Reid entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Police arrested Zeigler last week after pulling her over near the station. Officers say they found a loaded gun and magazine inside her car. <\/p>\n<p>Investigators say Zeigler was headed back to the station for a third time.<\/p>\n<p>Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood spoke about the serious nature of the repeated incidents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Five years ago I would have never predicted that would happen. Not only did it happen, but it was going to happen for the third time. That&#8217;s not just the normal behavior. There&#8217;s obviously mental illness involved here that&#8217;s probably been ongoing for some time. Doesn&#8217;t make her or him any less dangerous,&#8221; Youngblood said.<\/p>\n<p>A judge ordered Zeigler held without bail. She is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on October 30.<\/p>\n<p>This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
