Lee Baca, the onetime L.A. County sheriff, has Alzheimer's disease. The Sheriff's Department said he went missing from his home on Sunday afternoon.
Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca went missing from his home in San Marino on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities. Baca, now 82, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, The Times previously reported. The former sheriff was last seen leaving his home around 4:30 p.m., officials said. He was wearing a red long-sleeved shirt and black pants, according to an internal department message. He should be wearing a metal medical alert bracelet, the message said.
Toward the end of his tenure, the department was engulfed in a scandal that ultimately landed him and several others in federal prison. He stepped down in 2014. The 2011 scandal that tarnished his reputation as a reformer involved hiding an inmate who was an FBI informant and then threatening to arrest the agent who was leading the investigation.
