Felony case against LA DA George Gascon's top ethics official Diana Teran grew out of probe into Chief Deputy Joseph Iniguez after DUI stop caught on video.
The 11-count felony case alleging anti-police misconduct from Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon's top ethics officer stemmed from the drunken arrest of one of his most trusted confidants, who recorded himself clashing with officers and interrupting their investigation, according to court documents. California Attorney General Robert Bonta announced the charges against Diana Teran in April.
Azusa police took Iniguez to jail after stopping his then-fiance in December 2021 for an alleged traffic violation and on suspicion of drunken driving. Earlier this week, Fox News Digital obtained video of the arrest – which showed him telling officers, 'You've pulled over the wrong person, let me tell you.
Iniguez's fiance, who was driving the car before the stop, was handcuffed but not charged, and authorities later dropped the public intoxication case against Iniguez. He also came under fire in recent weeks after the district attorney's office said it would remove the two lead prosecutors on a child murder trial from the case before sentencing over an apparent conflict of interest – involving Teran.
