"The officer, assigned to the department's West Los Angeles Division, has been on administrative leave since October 2008 pending an internal investigation into his activities in Belize, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

An LAPD disciplinary hearing in the case has been postponed several times, Avazian said." |
