FBI agents search home of L.A. deputy mayor over City Hall bomb threat
LA TimesDeputy Mayor for Public Safety Brian K. Williams delivers a speech during a graduation ceremony for LAPD recruits in May. FBI agents searched the home of a Los Angeles deputy mayor on Tuesday as part of an investigation into whether he made a bomb threat against City Hall, officials said. Zach Seidl, a spokesperson for Mayor Karen Bass, said she was notified that the search took place at the home of Brian K. Williams, her deputy mayor for public safety, as part of an investigation into a bomb threat Williams “allegedly made” this year. “Earlier this year the LAPD responded to a bomb threat made against Los Angeles City Hall,” the department’s statement said. Pastor Xavier Thompson of Southern Missionary Baptist Church on West Adams Boulevard said Williams has been a “model public servant” — someone who has acted with “integrity in the highest manner.” Thompson, who worked with Williams while serving on the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Civilian Oversight Commission, voiced dismay that another Black city official is being targeted by law enforcement.
