LA City Councilman Curren Price was charged with embezzlement, perjury and conflict of interest.
Price represents LA's 9th District, which covers South Los Angeles and Exposition Park. Prior to getting a seat with the LA City Council, he was with California's state Assembly and state Senate.
Controversy and allegations of corruption continue to haunt the City Council, with Price being the latest from the City Hall to make headlines for the wrong reasons. This comes weeks after Mark Ridley-Thomas was found guilty of bribery. Back in 2022, the City Hall received backlash after then-City Council president Nury Martinez, Councilman Kevin de Le León and Councilman Gil Cedillo were all involved in leaked audio of a conversation with racist comments.
The release of the leaked audio led to protests and Martinez stepping down from the City Council all together. Cedillo's term with the City Council ends Monday, December 11.
