A former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy was convicted Monday of threatening a woman and setting her hair on fire in Buena Park and was sentenced to a year in jail, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

Alejandro Flores, 34, pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from the June 2015 incident, DA’s officials said in a news release.

The victim and a child relative under the age of 2 were living with Flores in Buena Park at the time of the crime.

Flores apparently hit the victim in the face and broke her nose on Oct. 22, 2014, but the incident was never reported.

Then in June, Flores argued with the victim over the child’s pacifier and he pushed the woman into a wall, officials said.

Flores hit the woman on the head, grabbed her neck and dragged her into the kitchen as she tried to get away from him, officials said. Flores held the victim over the stove and turned on the burner, causing her hair to catch on fire, officials said.

After the victim’s hair was extinguished, Flores threatened the victim with further violence if she tried to call the police or leave the home, according to the DA’s office.

He took her phone, threw it at her leg and turned up the volume on the TV when the victim tried to scream. He then took out his off-duty firearm and threatened her with it, officials said.

The victim was able to leave the home with the child the next day while Flores was at work and she alerted two relatives of what had happened. The relatives contacted the Buena Park Police Department and Flores was arrested on June 30.

He was later “relieved of duty” and placed on administrative leave, Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Amber Smith told the Los Angeles Times at the time of the arrest.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of domestic battery with corporal injury, two counts of assault with force, one count of aggregated assault, one count of dissuading a witness by force or threat, one count of making criminal threats, one count of false imprisonment by menace or violence and a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a firearm.

He was sentenced to one year in jail, five years of probation, eight hours of community service and completion of a domestic violence treatment program. He was also ordered to pay restitution, officials said.
