In one of his first official acts as the newly elected Los Angeles County Sheriff, Alex Villanueva, rehires Caren Mandoyan, a former Sheriff's Deputy who was fired for domestic violence and stalking against a former girlfriend. Mandoyan apparently campaigned for Villanueva, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with the rehire. With a County population of over 10 million people, the LA County Sheriff's position is one of the most powerful in the Country.
Also of note, is the dishonesty displayed by the LA Slimes newspaper in their headline, by failing to mention domestic abuse, only the lesser offense of stalking. (Photo attached of Mandoyan on the left, observing Villanueva as he places a pin on the Assistant Sheriff, Maria Gutierrez's collar.)
