So… What’s The Deal With The LA County Sheriff??

#17: The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department did something unusual last month. It launched a criminal investigation into L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and others, and got a warrant to search her house. It was unusual because the LASD does not typically investigate other county agencies. California's Attorney General has since taken that investigation over but the actions by the LASD raised some alarms, especially since Sheriff Alex Villanueva is running for re-election in November. It's all sorts of complicated but HTLA host Brian De Los Santos gets into it with this explainer on law enforcement in L.A.
