A Southern California sheriff's deputy who set off a massive manhunt when he allegedly faked being shot by a sniper outside his station has left colleagues furious, with his boss moving to boot him off the force and investigators probing potential criminal charges.
"When the news broke on Wednesday, I dropped everything I was doing to be at Lancaster and check on the welfare of Deputy Reinosa," Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in a statement released Sunday night. "Much of his statement was self-serving, didn't make a whole lot of sense," Capt. Kent Wegener of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's homicide division, said at a news conference on Saturday.
Villaneuva said investigators were suspicious of the validity of Reinosa's story early on,"but had to exercise care before accusing an employee of making false statements."
