Keep Bailing

LOS ANGELES, CA — Conflicting reports last week have caused the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to investigate further allegations of misconduct by deputies who were involved in a dismissed drug case.

Tatiana Anjuli Lopez accused deputies of lying  about the details of her arrest, as retaliation for her filing a complaint against them. She and her fiance were arrested in October on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. 

Lopez’ attorney, Thomas E. Beck, stated, “The crime report was deliberately falsified… The whole case was fabricated against my client.”

The report by the arresting deputy paints one picture, while the radio communications with dispatchers paints another. The Deputy claimed he drove Lopez in his patrol car to the Century Station in (aka Lynwood Jail). The radio reports show a completely different deputy transporting Lopez, according to court documents filed.

Ms. Lopez was in jail for two days, but was later released without further charges. Her fiance, Miguel Amarillas, was also released from a Los Angeles County jail. The D.A. later dropped the case completely.
