Los Angeles County Sheriff’s executed a search warrant on the home of Supervisor Sheila Kuehl on Wednesday, in what they said was part of an ongoing corruption investigation
But Kuehl, a critic of SheriffThe Sheriff’s Department confirmed that search warrants also were executed on the home of Patti Giggans, Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight commissioner, as well as the office of non profit she runs, Peace Over Violence, and offices at the Hall of Administration and Los Angeles
“The investigation has been shared with a federal agency and they continue to monitor,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. According to the Los Angeles Times, the warrant was signed by Superior Court Judge Craig Richman and had to do with an investigation into Peace Over Violence and how it was awarded a county Metro contract. The contract was to provide on hotline for reports of sexual harassment on public transit, according to the Times.
Outside of her home, Kuehl told reporters that one of the sheriff’s deputies “presented a warrant to search the house, which has no information in it at all, signed by a judge who is a friend of a sheriffs. But this strikes me as being part of a sort of a bogus, non investigation. There is no investigation going on that would support this warrant.”
She also denied having anything to do with the awarding of the contract. “I did not even know that they had such a contract,” she said.
