Los Angeles County’s sheriff slammed the county’s district attorney (DA), saying his policies and failure to prosecute all criminals is contributing to the crime wave in the city.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva made appearances at both a neighborhood group’s town hall and on Fox News on Dec. 22. During both appearances, Villanueva said the policies and directives DA George Gascón has implemented have led to an increase in crime.
