Former LA sheriff's captain pleads guilty in corruption case
A former captain with the nation's largest sheriff's department pleaded guilty Wednesday to lying on the witness stand during a widespread misconduct investigation into abuse within the Los Angeles County jail system.
William “Tom” Carey, a former captain in the internal investigations bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, pleaded guilty in federal court to making false declarations after reaching an agreement with prosecutors last week.
In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
Carey, 57, could face up to five years in prison when he's sentenced Jan. 25. His attorney, Andrew Stolper, declined to comment.
