Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies are forming a new “gang” in the agency's East L.A. station, according to a deputy who alleges in a lawsuit he was abused when he refused to join the group.
alleging they’d been regularly harassed by Banditos members who refused to send backup on dangerous calls and pressured them to quit.told the Civilian Oversight Commission in 2021 that the Banditos group “no longer exists” at East L.A. station, that summer the eight deputies updated their lawsuit to say that the group had just taken on 10 new members.
The deputy “intentionally used violent force on Garfias, he specifically intended Garfias to be seriously injured,” the lawsuit notes, also accusing the deputy of “malicious, willful, oppressive, and despicable conduct.” But Guizar said the harassment only ended when Garfias stopped working due to an unrelated on-duty injury. It’s unclear whether he’ll return to work.
