Deputies who responded to Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash, took pictures of the remains and were given a way out without repercussion. Just days after the crash, top brass at the department was aware some of their lower-level deputies had snapped shots of the scene as well as of the remains found, and were showing them to people in and out of the department.
A message was relayed to the Lost Hills substations and possibly others as well … if you got Kobe pics — come in, come clean and delete them. Do that, and you won’t be punished. That’s essentially the directive that has been handed down by commanding officers.This, sadly was an attempt to get rid of the damning evidence and was all being done on the low-low. It wasn’t until the L.A. Times came asking about the scandal that the department launched a formal inquiry. The Sheriff’s Dept. learned that some deputies took pics of their remains a few days after the crash. The news came in after a sheriff’s trainee went to a bar and thought he could impress and pick up a woman by showing her the photos. Sources say a bartender overheard the conversation and was so irate that he contacted the Sheriff’s and filed a formal complaint.Without a doubt the Sheriff’s Dept. kept everything under wraps until it became obvious the cover was.On Friday, the department issued a statement saying, “that top dog Alex Villanueva was “deeply disturbed at the thought deputies could allegedly engage in such an insensitive act.” They go on to say, “A thorough investigation will be conducted by the department, with the No. 1 priority of protecting the dignity and privacy of the victims and their families.”
