Two more former narcotics deputies of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department were indicted in an ongoing federal investigation of drug money skimming that has resulted in 12 convictions so far, U.S. Atty. Terree A. Bowers announced Wednesday.
Edward D. Jamison, 43, of Chino Hills, formerly a member of several drug enforcement units, was charged with filing a false income tax return and structuring financial transactions to avoid reporting requirements. John R. Hurtado, 36, of Alta Loma, a former member of two enforcement units, was accused of conspiracy, theft and filing false tax returns.
Jamison was acquitted of other charges earlier in the inquiry. These were the 20th and 21st indictments since the probe began.
