Two Long Beach Police Department officers were arrested Friday for allegedly filing a false police report related to a 2018 firearms arrest. The officers, 16-year veteran Dedier Reyes and five-year veteran David Salcedo, surrendered on Friday, the same day arrest warrants were issued, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Reyes bail is $2, while Salcedos bail is $1, police said, and both have been suspended pending an internal affairs investigation.
The officers alleged misdeeds were first discovered in February 2018, when LBPD detectives discovered discrepancies in the police reports and the surveillance video regarding a firearms arrest, the department said in a release.
Through their review, detectives learned that the officers actions were inconsistent with their written reports, the release added. The arrested subject was immediately released, and charges were not filed against him.
The department investigated the officers for almost a year before
submitting the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office for potential charges
in January 2019,
and arrest warrants were issued in December 2021.

(82,849 posts)The case was submitted to the D.A. almost three years ago. And they're finally having arrest warrants issued, with bail set at the princely sum of $2 and $1. Sounds like they really threw the book, no, make that sheet of Kleenex at them.
