FBI agents raided the home of Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Brian Williams in connection with a bomb threat he allegedly made against City Hall . FBI agents on Tuesday raided the home of Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Brian Williams in connection with a bomb threat he allegedly made against City Hall earlier this year, a spokesperson for Mayor Karen Bass said. The mayor's office was notified of the search, according to a statement released Wednesday afternoon by Bass's spokesperson Zach Seidl.
Williams 'was immediately placed on administrative leave,' the statement said. 'The Mayor takes this matter very seriously. When the threat was reported, LAPD investigated and determined there was no immediate danger. Following additional investigation, LAPD referred this matter to the FBI for further investigation.' According to a Los Angeles Police Department statement, the agency's initial investigation determined Williams was likely the 'source of the threat.'' The news shocked councilmembers, who did not want to comment on the matter yet to Eyewitness News, as they were still trying to understand why someone so powerful in City Hall and so close to Mayor Bass would do what he's accused of. 'My number one job as Mayor is to keep Angelenos safe,' Bass said in a statement at the time. 'The only way to do that is to hold people who commit crimes accountable and to take real steps to prevent crime from happening in the first place.' In February 2023, Bass announced Williams's appointment as deputy mayor of public safety, a role overseeing the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Port of Los Angeles Police, the Los Angeles World Airport Police and the city's Emergency Management Department.Before coming to work for the city, Williams was the executive director of the Los Angeles County Civilian Oversight Commission, which oversees the Sheriff's Department.Copyright © 2024 KABC Television, LLC.
