Daughter of Inglewood California mayor is accused of hiring a friend to beat up her landlord

LAT// The daughter of Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts was arrested and charged Wednesday with arranging an attack for cash on her landlord over an ongoing dispute, prosecutors said.

Ashley Melissa Butts, 30, of Inglewood and her friend, Israel Rios, were taken into custody on an arrest warrant stemming from the April 30 attack, according to a Los Angeles County Superior Court complaint.

Butts and Rios are charged with assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, conspiracy to commit a crime and first-degree burglary.

Shortly after Butts moved into her landlord’s home in the 3300 block of West 78th Street in Hyde Park, they began quarreling, prosecutors said.

According to the criminal complaint, Butts called Rios on her cellphone and instructed Rios to come to their home, so that he could attack the victim in exchange for cash.  MORE

  1. The racist landlord probably deserved it for complaining about the dozens of auditions she was doing for the role of ‘baby daddy’ every day.
    After all, she needs the check to pay the rent.

  2. Wow. I was presented an award from the mayor 15 years ago when he was Santa Monica police chief. Some friends on the force said he was decent but an opportunist. He’s doing all right – the Los Angeles Rams will be playing in his town.
