LASD deputy charged obstructing DUI crash investigation of another deputy

by The AV Times Staff • August 23, 2023

A deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) has been charged with attempting to cover up a patrol vehicle crash of a fellow SEB deputy, who was allegedly driving under the influence and was separately charged with that crime earlier this year, District Attorney George Gascón announced.

“A law enforcement officer obstructing an investigation into unlawful conduct by another deputy undermines the integrity of the justice system,” Gascón said. “We will hold accountable both the officer who committed misconduct and those who participated in covering it up. No one is above the law, especially not those that are sworn to uphold it.”

Deputy Gregory Davis, 54, was charged with one felony count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one misdemeanor count of giving false information to a peace officer, and three misdemeanor counts of delaying and/or obstructing an investigation, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Davis is expected to surrender on Sept. 27.

On Aug. 26, 2022, Deputy Carlos Lopez was off-duty when he crashed his marked SUV in Stevenson Ranch while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. [Read more here.] Davis arrived, allegedly pulled his fellow deputy’s limp body out of the crashed SUV, and placed him in the vehicle of his fellow deputy’s wife, who drove him home.

Prosecutors say Davis, who was also off-duty at the time, then attempted to move the deputy’s SUV before an off-duty LAPD officer passing by called authorities. Davis initially did not identify himself as an off-duty deputy. Davis works for a specialized unit that includes the department’s High-Risk Tactical/Rescue Teams.

The case is being investigated by the Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division.

    Bunch of boot lickers in the comments. Get your groveling heads heads off the ground, my dog holds herself higher taking a poo on the lawn. Cops should be held to a higher standard, and thus, the consequences should be more severe. Cry more, red caps.

        Someone’s triggered. Do you think Officer Davis FAFO’d? He’s the only one getting bent here, buddy. Now go shine his boots with your tongue, they’re looking a little dry.

    Good news! Gascon is going to kicked out of office next year and we have a real District Attorney who supports law enforcement and protects victims!

      “Supports law enforcement.” Are you saying that the cop who on his off time tried to cover up the crimes of the drunk deputy that wrecked his car should be ‘supported’ instead of prosecuted?

          LOL…I take it that you didn’t want to answer that question. And no, I do a whole lot of things in a day, but I do check my e-mail frequently through the day and taking thirty seconds to come here and make you look silly is an easy break.

            I’ll answer for him. Gascon is from a classic liberal, cop hating family. He’s soft on crime and hard on cops. Should the deputies answer for their crime ? Yes! But the felony charges he’s filed are way too severe for the circumstances. I agree that this Soros backed asshat needs to go.

            The cop tried to cover up a crime committed by a fellow cop. How can the charges filed in this case be “too serious”?

    I am sure Gascón will hang the cops high since he is anti police, Gascón will always go after the police first and let all these people that are breaking the laws right out in public get away with it. As long as Gascón crime will continue to rise because no one is held accountable for their actions and as long as Gascón and BLM are in charge of CA we will have a shortage of police and our officers will go to other states to live and work. Only in CA are criminals allowed to do what ever they want, steal whatever they want, kill whoever they want and then walk away free with no jail time.
    I saw on the news a man that broke into over 55 businesses and stole more than a million dollars worth of stuff and he was not put in jail, the DA said there was no reason to that jail wouldn’t teach him anything and he walked out a free man, but if this man gets hurt while robbing a business he can sue for his injury, and pain & suffering. THIS IS ONLY IN CA

      Move, CAsucks.

      Go. Get out of here.

      You aren’t wanted or needed to be in California.

      What is keeping you here?

      Are your feet nailed to the floor.

      Okay. Now leave. Alabama and Mississippi want you.

          Also one thing that is amazing about southwestern Mississippi is not a single piece of trash on the sides of the roads.

            In Mississippi the trash is mostly driving the cars.
