County lawyers filed a legal action demanding that the current sheriff cooperate with the Office of the Inspector General's investigation into alleged internal LASD gangs.
for cause was first reported, county lawyers filed a legal action demanding that the current sheriff cooperate with the Office of the Inspector General's investigation into alleged internal LASD gangs.
"Although the OIG ordinance makes clear that the sheriff must cooperate with the OIG and provide documents and information in the manner requested by the OIG, the sheriff has refused to cooperate with the OIG's requests for access to critical records and record systems," the Los Angeles Superior Court petition states.
The supervisors and the sheriff have clashed over a range of matters during Villanueva's time in office. On Tuesday, the supervisors plan to consider a proposal first reported on Thursday that would ask voters in November to give them power to remove an elected sheriff from office for cause. Villanueva's re-election campaign responded to the board's proposal Friday, saying the supervisors have "no business" seeking such authority."The people of Los Angeles would be better served if the supervisors spent their time doing their jobs by reducing homelessness and improving health care, instead of trying to seize even more power," according to a statement from Villanueva's campaign.
"The sheriff is an elected position, just like the supervisors. Just as the sheriff has no business asking for power to fire the supervisors, the reverse is also true."
