2022 |
In March 2015, Anthony Brown filed a civil rights lawsuit against Los Angeles County and several Sheriff’s Department officials, alleging that he suffered federal civil rights violations (including cruel and unusual punishment and failure to provide adequate medical care) while he was in the custody of the Sheriff’s Department and incarcerated at the Men’s Central Jail. At the time, Brown was feeding information to the FBI about alleged corruption and abuses of incarcerated people. After discovering a cellphone in Brown’s possession, guards at the jail realized they were the target of a federal investigation and attempted to derail the probe by hiding Brown from FBI handlers. In January 2022, the County agreed to pay $1 million to compensate Brown. Additionally, ten former Sheriff’s Department officials were convicted for their roles in the cover-up. |
