This morning, Sheriff Carmine Marceno hosted the annual Fallen Deputy Memorial ceremony to honor the eleven dedicated LCSO deputies who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Distinguished community leaders, local law enforcement partners, and family members of the fallen were present today to honor and pay respects to those we have lost. We continue to mourn these profound losses felt within our LCSO family and the community, but their memory lives on in all of us forever. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโญ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ... See MoreSee Less

Deputies were informed that a victim located his 2-year-old calf on the neighbor's property with five gunshot wounds to the guts, chest, and rear leg. Due to the calf's injuries, a veterinarian determined the calf needed to be euthanized.The victim stated the neighbor, Hung Trinh (11/30/1970), had been angry in the past about livestock jumping the fence and threatened to shoot the animals.1st Precinct detectives authored a search warrant and located the .22 caliber gun in a shed on Trinh's property.He was charged with animal cruelty and grand theft of a commercial farm animal."There will be accountability for taking your frustrations out on innocent animals, in this case multiple felonies and jail time," said Sheriff Carmine Marceno. "We know how much these animals mean to our farming community, and we will not tolerate these actions. I am proud of my Agriculture Unit for their immediate response and ability to make an arrest in this case." ... See MoreSee Less
