The Sacramento Bee reports the dismissals last Thursday ended most of the criminal cases against 54 CHP officers in East Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES — A judge has dismissed felony wage theft and fraud charges against 48 California Highway Patrol officers who were accused in an overtime fraud scheme.
LA County Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen last month said he would reduce the felonies to misdemeanors and then dismiss them if the officers agreed to pay back the money the CHP accused them of improperly receiving. The deal did not require the officers to admit guilt. Two rejected the deal, and a preliminary hearing will be scheduled for them in February, according to state Attorney General Rob Bonta's office.
