A former Los Angeles police
sergeant who had a protracted legal battle against the LAPD over its
treatment of gay and lesbian officers was arrested last week after an
hours-long standoff in West Hollywood, authorities said Monday.
Mitchell
Grobeson, 57, was taken into custody Friday in the 800 block of West
Knoll Drive and booked on a charge of corporal injury on a spouse,
according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The incident was initially reported about 10 a.m. as a barricaded
suspect, according to the Sheriff's Department. About 2 p.m., after
crisis negotiators persuaded Grobeson to surrender, he was arrested.
Arrest records reviewed by The Times list Grobeson's occupation as a
"retired police officer." He is being held in a Los Angeles County jail
in lieu of $250,000 bail, and he's scheduled to appear in the Airport
Courthouse on Tuesday morning, according to jail records.
