LAPD cop charged with lying about attack
Here's what KFI's Eric Leonard has to say. he's got some docs on the Web as well:
Prosecutors have charged a wounded ex-LAPD officer with insurance fraud and arson for allegedly torching his luxury car and lying about a supposed ambush at his East Los Angeles home.
Anthony Razo, 49, had not been arrested late Wednesday, and was expected to appear in court this week.
KFI NEWS reported Tuesday Razo had quit the department after he was relieved of duty amidst the criminal investigation.
The charges allege Razo burned his 2005 BMW 745 IL sedan January 4, falsely reported it stolen, then made false insurance claims for the car and some expensive items inside, including golf clubs, a ring, a watch, and shoes.
