A New Year's Eve incident in which a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy pulled a gun on a man in a parked car and threatened to shoot him is now the subject of an internal investigation.
"Sheriff (Robert) Luna has made it clear that he expects department personnel to treat all members of the public with dignity and respect, and that personnel who do not uphold our training standards will be held accountable," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Friday announcing the probe into the "actions and language" of two patrol deputies.
It was unclear why the deputies approached the man, who identified himself on social media as rapper Feezy Lebron, in a parking lot on Crenshaw Boulevard. But they did so Dec. 31 around 5:45 p.m. and ordered him out of a BMW sedan.
