BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) \u2014 Zack Scrivner appeared in court Monday morning, but the scheduled hearing for the former supervisor was delayed to Friday, Dec. 19.<\/p>\n
This hearing is in regards to Scrivner’s eligibility to be granted mental health diversion after a motion was filed earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Scrivner was arrested at his Tehachapi home in April 2024, facing five felony accusations, including three for child cruelty and two assault weapons charges.<\/p>\n
If the motion for mental health diversion is granted, Scrivner may not serve any jail time and instead receive mental health treatment.<\/p>\n
The motion put forth in October is sealed, meaning no information will be provided before the scheduled hearing.<\/p>\n
This is the second time this hearing has been postponed.<\/p>\n
