Prosecutors said he falsely imprisoned a 23-year-old skateboarder in a patrol car, which crashed during a subsequent chase, leaving the man injured.
A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to violate the civil rights of a man at a Compton skate park by improperly detaining him and then acting to cover up his actions, federal prosecutors announced Thursday, July 20.
According to court papers, the man identified as J.A. was in an enclosed skate park at Wilson Park in Compton on April 13, 2020, when the deputies arrived and contacted two young Black males outside the park. Prosecutors said Hernandez believed one of the males was on probation. Prosecutors said Vega again challenged J.A. to a fight after the deputies had driven away from the park. Vega and Hernandez both “taunted” the man, suggesting they were going to set him up by dropping him off in gang territory, prosecutors said.
After the crash, Vega allegedly took J.A. out of the patrol SUV and told him to leave, then reported over the sheriff’s radio that a suspect with a gun had run through an alley, and he described the suspect as wearing clothing similar to those worn by J.A. Neither Vega nor Hernandez initially disclosed that they had detained J.A. or that he was in the SUV when the crash occurred, prosecutors said.
