It is just being announced by the US Attorney's Office and FBI in Los Angeles that ex-LA Sheriff Lee Baca has been charged for lying to FBI agents during their investigation of corruption in the LA County Jail. He is expected to plead guilty in court this afternoon. According to a plea deal, it is expected he will receive 6 months in jail. This also involves Baca trying to prevent the FBI from interviewing a prisoner in the jail.

Sheriff Lee Baca has shamed himself and puts all of the Sheriff's Department in bad light. With advocacy groups jumping on any real or unreal serious law enforcement infraction, allows them to endanger other agencies across the nation.
