The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department served several warrants on Wednesday in connection to a broad-sweeping corruption probe into the county supervisor and associates.
Deputies knocked on the door of L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and announced that they had a warrant, prompting Kuehl to come outside, according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.
FOX 11 Los Angeles reported that federal law enforcement was also involved in the raid.

Investigative reporter Cece Woods shared video on social media of uniformed deputies and said the sheriff’s department was serving warrants in "multiple locations" in connection to the criminal case involving Kuehl, Los Angeles Metro, Los Angeles activist Patti Giggans, Giggans’ organization Peace Over Violence and former CEO of Los Angeles Metro, Phil Washington.
Details about the warrants remain unclear. Kuehl told FOX 11 that the warrant to search her home "had no information on it" and was "signed by a judge who is a friend of the sheriff."

"There's no investigation going on that would support this warrant," Kuehl said.
"I have never committed a felony," she said, adding that the probe is based "on an old obsession by a Metro employee" and the search of her home constitutes "harassment."
