SOUTHLAND : Councilman Ferraro’s Son Arrested
Gianni Lucke Ferraro, the 33-year-old son of Los Angeles City Council President John Ferraro, was arrested at his Studio City home after police said he had falsely reported emergencies on the 911 line, authorities said today.
The younger Ferraro was released on his own recognizance this morning after being arrested on the misdemeanor count about 11 p.m. Monday, Officer Bill Frio said. Police declined to specifically say what the calls were about or how many were placed.
Last year, Ferraro was sentenced to one year in County Jail and five years’ probation in the April, 1987, vehicular manslaughter death of a pedestrian in Hollywood. Police said Ferraro struck a 69-year-old man while driving drunk.
