SC 44-542 On June 28, 1973, 28 individuals associated with the Teamsters Union were arrested by the Kern County Sheriff's Office and booked into the Kern County Jail, Bakersfield, California. JOSEPH JOHNSON, Chief Investigator, Kern County District Attorney's Office, Bakersfield, advised on August 6, 1973, that due to the lack of cooperation in general by the UFWU, 17 of these individuals arrested had to be released without charge. At the present time, 11 Teamster members are still under charge, and cases involving six have been presented to a county grand jury; however, results of the grand jury's decision, if any, have not been made public. It is expected that five of the 11 will not be presented to a grand jury in the future and that five of the six cases presented will probably be dis- missed resulting in only one indictment. - 151* -
