A high-ranking police captain in a lawsuit on Jan. 4 against the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and a city-affiliated gun store says he and his family suffered trauma during a search of his home.

LAPD Capt. Jonathan Tom, of the West LA Division, also alleges in the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, that the February 2021 search of his home was racially motivated.
