Former LAPD Detective Back in Custody | Los Angeles News

A former LAPD detective once hailed as one of the smartest cops in the force is back behind bars at age 77, facing fresh charges for a 1994 kidnapping and sexual assault — a case dropped years ago but revived by new forensic tech. Though he’d already served 25 years for other crimes and was released under a 2018 elder parole law, prosecutors now allege he used a weapon during the assault and committed kidnapping for robbery. While the sex crime charge is time-barred, the new accusations carry heavy prison sentences, and he’s currently held on a $2 million bond — a shocking reversal from his past glory to present legal reckoning.
