Fumes lead to classroom evacuation
An instructor called campus police on Feb. 12 around 8 p.m. to report students and instructors feeling lightheaded and sick to their stomachs, according to campus police reports.
When the officer entered the building, he called for back-up upon experiencing chest tightness and nausea.
He was taken to Bakersfield Memorial Hospital where he was held for observation.
A contractor had been painting in the building before the 6:30 p.m. class started.
