Fresno Radio: Inga Barks Formally Charged

Inga Barks

In California, the Kern County District Attorney's office has formally charged longtime Fresno talk radio host Inga Barks with drunk and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

Barks, 45, a talk show host at KMJ AM 580 AM/105.9 FM in Fresno, and a community columnist for The Californian, was arrested Feb. 27 in southwest Bakersfield after police responded to reports of an unconscious woman.

After officers arrived, they noticed Barks was displaying signs of alcohol intoxication, a spokeswoman for the Bakersfield Police Department told The Californian following the arrest.

When officers asked for identification, Barks was uncooperative, the spokeswoman said.

Last month, Barks said in an email to The Californian that she had had "an adverse reaction to meds," and that she was grateful she was not driving.

Barks' arraignment has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. May 3 in Kern County Superior Court.
