LOS ANGELES — The top watchdog for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has identified more than 40 alleged members of gang-like groups of deputies that operate out of two sheriff's stations.
In a letter Monday, Inspector General Max Huntsman said his office has compiled a partial list that includes 11 deputies who allegedly belong to the Banditos, which operate out of the East L.A. sheriff's station, and 30 alleged Executioners from the Compton sheriff's station.
He wrote that the list is based on information gleaned from investigations conducted by the Sheriff's Department. Huntsman did not name the deputies and said his office has identified additional possible members from other sources.
