Eight Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies are suing the county, saying they were pressured by the Banditos gang to quit their jobs or leave the East Los Angeles station.
For decades, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has been under pressure to break up tattooed gangs of deputies accused of misconduct.The suit’s plaintiffs are Deputies Art Hernandez, Alfred Gonzalez, Benjamin Zaredini, David Casas, Louis Granados, Mario Contreras, Oscar Escobedo and Ariela Lemus. Their allegations include racial discrimination, harassment, assault, battery, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress and civil rights violations.
The deputies sued along with Los Angeles County are Rafael “Rene” Munoz, Gregory Rodriguez, David Silverio and Michael Hernandez. The suit notes that Deputy Carrie Robles was a young deputy who in November 2017 was responding to a report of a shooting when her vehicle was involved in a chain-reaction crash near Whittier Boulevard and Indiana Street in Boyle Heights that left 7-year-old Jose Luis Hernandez and his 9-year-old brother, Marcos, dead.
