Ex-Los Angeles County Sheriff Sentenced for DUI Crash
Last week Robert Moran, 43, a former deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was officially sentenced to three years of informal probation and to six months in a county jail for his June 2008 DUI. He was arrested for that DUI when he crashed his department-issued SUV into another car after he ran a red light, and injured the people in the other car.
Moran has already almost completed his jail sentence by serving his time on house arrest, which is also commonly referred to as electronic monitoring. House arrest is a DUI penalty that enables you to serve a jail sentence at home, rather than in jail. This DUI penalty is not available under all circumstances…you must specifically request it and the judge must approve it.
So let me get this straight. An L.A. sheriff who injured two people when he drove a department issued car while under the influence, after running a red light gets a break on his sentence? Someone who, no doubt, has used his “special training” to detain, arrest, and help convict others of the same offense?
Gotta love the hypocrisy embedded in the California justice system…
