Top watchdog for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department has identified dozens of deputies who are allegedly members of gang-like groups that operate out of two stations.
A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy associated with a gang-like group of deputies with matching tattoos testified that he has attended about seven “inking parties.”
In his letter, Huntsman requests that the Sheriff’s Department cooperate in his investigation into the groups by providing investigative files and other documents. Sheriff Alex Villanueva in the past has downplayed the issue, saying problems associated with the groups are often the result of drunken deputies getting into fights and taking issue with those who refer to them as “deputy gangs.”to the Board of Supervisors, demanding that the supervisors and others stop using the phrase.
In response to questions from The Times earlier this month, Villanueva said that the Sheriff’s Department’s investigation into the Compton Executioners led to two terminations and 13 transfers out of the station.
