LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman says the department has begun an internal affairs investigation into why a deputy acting as a bailiff detained and handcuffed a Superior Court spokeswoman inside a downtown Los Angeles courtroom.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says deputy public information officer Vania Stuelp was handcuffed Tuesday after she refused to leave the area usually occupied by attorneys and would not follow the deputy's directions. He says Stuelp was not arrested.
Whitmore says Stuelp walked into the well area to inform a French television crew they could not film in a certain area of the court.
Court was not in session at the time.
Whitmore says a sheriff's sergeant arrived recognized her as the court spokesperson and directed that she be released.
