SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC) — A search warrant was served at the homes of Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and other county officials in connection to an “ongoing public corruption investigation,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced.
According to LASD, the homes of Kuehl and L.A. County Civilian Oversight Commissioner Patricia “Patti” Giggans were searched Wednesday morning.
The search warrant, signed by Judge Craig Richman, who reportedly has close ties to LASD’s Public Corruption Unit, doesn’t explicitly state what investigators are looking for. The warrant doesn’t require that information.
This reportedly stems from a dispute over a contract several years ago involving a METRO sexual harassment hotline. Peace Over Violence, the nonprofit organization in charge of running it, is led by Higgins, who is close friends with Kuehl.
There are allegations that there was a conflict of interest in awarding the contract and how the hotline was run. Kuehl denies those claims, including whether she was aware of an investigation to begin with.
“Everybody’s going to say, ‘Well she must’ve done something or they wouldn’t have come to her house. No.,” said Kuehl in front of her Santa Monica home as deputies continued their search. “This is all about a contract, which I had nothing to do, and there’s no ongoing investigation. The sheriff should have better control of his department.”
The supervisor, who represents L.A. County’s 3rd District, said deputies took some electronic devices among other items. Giggans, who also denies any wrongdoing, had her vehicle taken during Wednesday morning’s search at her home.
In addition, deputies searched the L.A. County Hall of Administration, the Peace Over Violence’s headquarters and the METRO headquarters. MORE

I just saw that she was “Zelda” on Dobie Gillis.
LMAO.
[I watched the reruns in the late 80s]
[Also, if you were wondering, she’s a Democrat]
Zelda K. Gilroy, portrayed by Sheila Kuehl, is a character from the American sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which originally aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963.
I immediately recognized her name – she’s an openly gay lesbian too. I remember her from Dobie Gillis, and I always thought she was an odd one.

I know, right? lol
Plus I could never see that one hipster friend as anything else but Gilligan.
Bob Denver played the character Maynard G. Kreisler on the Dobie Gillis show. Almost no one knows what the “G” stood for, Maynard only mentioned it once.
“G” stood for “Walter”
T “D”s are fighting here in SoCal. The County Board (Shelia is 1 of 5) is trying to fire (illegally?) the Sheriff. All Dems.
Very similar to GWB’s boy Wray going after Don and his firends. Just today GWB harassed Mike Lindell.
In the last 21 years America has turned itself into “a banana republic”. Both GWB’s FBI on the national scene and Alex in SoCal. BTW I side with Alex and am against GWB’s Wray.
But neither should be doing what they are!
CT Ginger: He was Maynard G. Krebbs. FYI
No FBI??
They must have in some way shown some admiration for president Trump, and thus fell out of favor with the democrat machine.
The instant you see that a non-profit was involved it is safe to assume that corruption will be involved. They are for the most part nothing but farm clubs where the Democrat Party parks their up and coming talent to vet them before running them for public office. As for any benefit to society that comes out of their existence, please spare me.
By the time they were done with it, it was a non-profit.
Except for them.

The people doing the searching and investigating are every bit as corrupt as the people being searched and investigated.
