PLEA FOR SHOOTING AT COPS

A man charged with firing at officers while barricaded in his north Bakersfield trailer has accepted a plea deal. 49-year-old Darren Aldridge pleaded no contest Thursday to assault on a peace officer and several other felonies. He was arrested last September after a five hour standoff, sentencing is next month and Aldridge faces up to 29 years.
