A member of the Los Angeles City Council has been arrested on charges of financial corruption – the fourth council member to be arrested in recent years.
Council member Curren Price was charged Tuesday in connection to an alleged pay-to-play scheme. His arraignment is not yet scheduled.
“Today’s charges against Councilman Curren Price are the result of a thorough investigation into allegations of public corruption. This alleged conduct undermines the integrity of our government and erodes the public’s trust in our elected officials,” District Attorney George Gascón said Tuesday.
