Oscar Medrano Jr., 47, was picked up by sheriff's deputies at his Gardena jewelry store on suspicion of molesting a 14-year-old girl. No charges filed as yet. Worth noting, I guess, that Gardena's mayor is a high-ranking Sheriff's Department official. LAT, following the Breeze, which first had it in a blog post by Larry Altman.
