A former L.A. sheriff's deputy was sentenced to one year in prison for making false statements to the FBI during a 2012 interview.
Gabriel Carrillo, right, listens to attorney Ronald Kaye speak about Los Angeles County's $1.175-million civil lawsuit settlement with Carrillo during a news conference in May 2014.
On Feb. 26, 2011, Gabriel Carrillo visited his brother in jail. Deputies handcuffed Carrillo, believing he had a cellphone in violation of state law, and brought him into an employee break room. Deputies proceeded to punch, kick and pepper-spray him while he remained handcuffed. Dredd watched the beating from an adjacent room.
“All law enforcement officers will be held accountable for abusing their positions — whether that includes the illegal use of force or lying to cover up a civil rights violation,” saidat the time of Dredd’s conviction. “This former deputy actively tried to conceal the illegal actions of his fellow deputies, and today a jury held him accountable for his role in the cover-up of an unjustified beating.
