Former San Diego sheriff's lieutenant sentenced in gun dealing case [Breaking]
When former San Diego Sheriff’s Lt. Fred Magaña was asked by his supervisor in 2017 to break the law, he didn’t think much of it, he told a judge Friday in a federal courtroom.
. So when Garmo asked him a few months later to buy two 9 mm Walther PPS M2 pistols in his name for prominent local jeweler Leo Hamel, Magaña didn’t second guess the favor.He admits now that he should have, since those were guns that can typically only be purchased in California by law enforcement officers. Garmo has admitted that for years he used his law enforcement privilege to sell such guns.
The judge said Magaña was also to blame for convincing himself that Garmo’s gun-selling conduct wasn’t that bad.Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden said Magaña initially lied to investigators when confronted in 2019 about his role in the illegal gun-selling case that brought down Garmo and is now nearing its conclusion.
