After failing to appear in court for his misdemeanor arraignment Wednesday, Kern County Superior Court issued a warrant to arrest a former candidate for the 5th District Board of Supervisors seat who was charged with misusing the 911 emergency line.

David Abbasi, 45, was charged Tuesday with making annoying 911 calls and repeated calls to a residence with the intent to annoy or harass, which are misdemeanors.
