Testimony of retired Deputy Lawrence Del Mese comes during the third hearing by commission investigating the proliferation of deputy gangs.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva’s former chief of staff testified Friday he belonged to an alleged deputy gang known as the Grim Reapers for more than two decades, but became disenchanted and removed the notorious group’s gruesome tattoo from his ankle for the sake of his job.

“It was a fraternal group that worked hard and received some recognition from its peers,” Del Mese said in describing the Grim Reapers. He noted that his tattoo included “22,” signifying he was the 22nd member to join. The Brady List is a public database that contains information of police misconduct, use-of-force reports and other complaints. Defense attorneys at trial often challenge the credibility of officers based on their inclusion on the list.His main duties included accompanying Villanueva to constituency meetings and keeping him focused on the issues, which apparently did not include tackling the deputy gang problem.

Del Mese said he believes Mandoyan’s attorney gave him the agreement during a meeting at a storefront that served as Villanueva’s transition team headquarters.
