Ferguson Faces Charges in Teen’s Death | Bakersfield News

A 67-year-old man, Jeff Don Ferguson, faces hit-and-run causing death charges after fatally striking a 17-year-old girl on Union Avenue in July. Despite admitting he stopped after the crash and hiding his vehicle, he’s denied wrongdoing and is battling a decades-long meth addiction. Authorities identified his car via Flock cameras, leading to his arrest weeks later. He’s also charged with driving on a suspended license — though not accused of being high at the time of the crash. The case moves forward as the legal system weighs the tragic outcome and his troubling history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
