Text messages show the county counsel warned Supervisor Sheila Kuehl in advance of the search planned by the Sheriff’s Department.
Kuehl’s attorney, Cheryl O’Connor, stated in the Sept. 22 letter that she is “gravely concerned” that sheriff’s Sgt. Max Fernandez, the lead investigator, spent the weekend searching Kuehl’s text messages and voicemails for information O’Connor says is beyond the scope of the originalFernandez “intentionally invaded attorney-client privilege by reading and publishing text messages between County Counsel and the Supervisor,” O’Connor wrote.
The sheriff’s original search warrants, executed Sept. 14, sought information about a series of contracts for a harassment hotline awarded to the nonprofit Peace Over Violence by L.A. County Metro. The Sheriff’s Department alleges it is investigating whether Kuehl used her influence to get the contracts, which totaled more than $800,000, approved by former Metro CEO Phil Washington.
“Supervisor Kuehl neither obstructed the execution of the warrant at her home, nor did she disclose the existence of the warrant for the purpose of preventing the search or seizure of property,” O’Connor wrote. “Sgt. Fernandez and the LASD have not claimed otherwise.”Fernandez attached images of two text messages related to the alleged tipoff in his declaration.
