On Monday, February 13, 2012, at approximately 7:30 P.M., members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau arrested a 24-year old employee named Remington Orr, as he was preparing to enter Men's Central Jail to distribute cocaine.- From LASD statement
Orr, employed as a Custody Assistant assigned to the Men's Central Jail, has been a Department member for four years. Monday's arrest culminated a four week Sheriff's Department investigation into allegations that Orr was bringing contraband to jail inmates in exchange for monetary considerations. He was subsequently arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Sell, Transportation of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Sell, and Bribery.
Orr was booked into the Inmate Reception Center, and is being held in lieu of $1,000,000.00 bail.
