The home of Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl was searched the morning of Sept. 14 by the sheriff’s department as part of a public corruption investigation.

Kuehl, elected in 2018 to represent District 3, was escorted out of her home around 7 a.m. by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD). The supervisor was accused of aiding nonprofit Peace Over Violence in winning contracts—totaling over $890,000 between 2014 and 2020—with LA Metro to operate a hotline for reporting sexual harassment on its trains and buses.
