Details of News Release: The Sheriff's Office is announcing today that it has served another search warrant for specific items of evidence at the Los Angeles County home of Paul Flores.

In February, the Sheriff's Office served search warrants at four locations in California and Washington State. Today's search warrant only involved the home of Paul Flores. As with the search warrants in February, this current search warrant is sealed by the court.
