Tubbs appeared in a Kern County courtroom in Bakersfield to face charges connected to the April 21, 2019 death of Michael Clark. Tubbs is being held in Kern County jail on $1 million bond and is being detained in a men's jail. Prosecutors said Tubbs grabbed the girl by the throat, locked her in a stall, and put her hand down the girl’s pants. Tubbs pleaded guilty to the attack, though the incident took place when Tubbs was two weeks shy of 18 and identified as a male. When authorities arrested Tubbs roughly eight years after the crime, the suspect, began identifying as a woman, according to prosecutors.
