Two female sheriff's deputies arrested in a shooting Friday near La Mirada Regional Park were behind bars Saturday, while a third was recovering from injuries suffered in a fight before gunfire erupted.
Deputy Judith Gonzalez, 36, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, and Deputy Adrienne Myers, 35, was booked on suspicion of battery, according to sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker. Bail was set at $50,000 for each.
Deputies sent to the park in the 13700 block of Adelfa Drive at 3:04 a.m. Friday in response to reports of gunfire made the arrests, a deputy with the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau said.
A third woman deputy, whose name was not made public, was treated for injuries at a hospital and released. She also was expected to be booked for a crime, but no other information was made available. Apparently, all three were booked at the sheriff's Norwalk Station.
Rivera said he did not know what led to the shooting.
Investigators believe the trio were the only people involved in the crimes, Parker said. All three deputies were ``relieved of duty,'' Parker said. It was unclear where they worked.
Gonzalez and Myers are scheduled to appear in Downey Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to jail records.
``All three deputies were assigned to patrol stations,'' Parker said. Several agencies were involved the investigation.
``The incident is being investigated by the sheriff's Internal Criminal Investigation bureau, our Internal Affairs Bureau, the Office of Independent Review and the District Attorney's office,'' said Deputy Benjamin Grubb.
The lead unit in the sheriff's department for this investigation is the Internal Criminal Investigation bureau, Grubb said.
