The case involves former Deputy Gilbert Michel, who admitted smuggling a cellphone and other contraband into Men’s Central Jail for an inmate who promised him $ 20,000.
Federal prosecutors filed their first criminal charge in the ongoing investigation of deputy misconduct in the Los Angeles County jails, saying that an ex-guard has agreed to plead guilty to felony bribery and is cooperating with the FBI.
