[PICTURED: Sheriff Lee Baca address press on FBI BUST OF HIS DEPUTY! (DOH!): "My name is Sheriff Lee Baca, I speak in third person, like Zuma Dogg and The Rock, and don't believe a word Sheriff Lee Baca says!"]By Robert Faturechi, Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, responding to federal investigations of jailhouse abuse, for the first time offered a detailed account of an FBI undercover sting that caught one of his deputies allegedly smuggling a cellphone to an inmate.
In an interview with The Times, Baca revealed that the inmate working as an FBI informant inside Men's Central Jail was using pay phones there to contact agents probing allegations of deputy misconduct. The agents tried to dissuade him from using a jailhouse line, telling him they could be monitored by sheriff's officials. The agents promised to get their informant a cellphone, Baca said, and the inmate volunteered that he knew of a deputy willing to smuggle contraband for cash.
Baca confirmed that federal authorities targeted that deputy in an undercover sting. FBI operatives brought $1,500, Baca said, and the deputy agreed to go through with the deal.

Rumor Mill Working Overtime as Controversy Bubbles Between FBI and LA Sheriff’s Dept. (ZD SAYS, "MAKE IT ABOUT HOW MEAN THE FBI IS AND HOW BAD THEY WERE FOR DOING THIS, INSTEAD OF THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENED! NICE TRY, LEE!" ZD ISN'T DENNIS ZINE. NOT FOOLED, THAT EASILY!)
Allan Lengel ticklethewire.comThe rumor mill has been working over time involving the controversy between FBI and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff Lee Baca is fuming that the FBI didn’t tell him about its investigation into inmate abuse, or the fact that the FBI, in an undercover sting, paid a sheriff’s deputy about $1,500 to sneak a cellphone into an inmate who happened to be an FBI informant. When Baca learned of it all, he was none too happy.
The sheriff announced an investigation into the whole matter and into the sheriff’s deputy who snuck the phone in the jail. The deputy has since resigned, the LA Times reported. It is a crime to sneak a phone into the jail.
Things have been heating up.
