Officer Garcia – El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office

Officer Garcia was implicated in racially discriminatory practices involving the repeated, non-random searching of an inmate’s cell every Sunday during church services. These actions were perceived as racially motivated, leading the inmate to file a grievance. Following the grievance, the targeted searches ceased. The court found these allegations sufficient to state a cognizable equal protection claim against Officer Garcia.
