After a months-long delay, San Bernardino County officials on Tuesday released the complete findings of two investigations that offered an unsparing, behind-the-scenes look at questionable deal-making in a county still recovering from a mid-1990s corruption scandal. The reports focused on the county's $31-million purchase of a private jail and the sale of surplus county land involving a county supervisor's chief of staff alamo bowl 2009 . Both deals involved Brett Granlund, a former Assemblyman from Yucaipa and a county lobbyist in Sacramento and triggered separate criminal investigations by the district attorney's office. The board had refused to release the reports since they were submitted in late 2005, saying they involved personnel matters, but criticism mounted, even after it released a four-page summary of the findings in December. According to the findings of the first inquiry, Granlund, a lobbyist for the county, convinced top county officials that buying a private jail in Adelanto for $31 million would solve a space crunch in county jails bcs bowl game tickets . At the time, he was working as a consultant for the jail's then-owner, Terry Moreland and his companies but didn't tell county officials that.

The special counsel conducting both investigations, Los Angeles attorney Leonard Gumport, said in that report the deal might violate conflict-of-interest laws and both parties could be held liable in civil court. "It confirms the public's worst fears," said Bob Stern, president of the nonpartisan Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles bowl tickets . "Unless there is public outcry -- and I don't think there has been -- this will continue. "The district attorney's office said Tuesday that its own investigation into the land deal was continuing, and it completed its probe into the jail transaction in April, concluding that Granlund's behavior was questionable but that he had done nothing illegal. Nearly every county official mentioned in the reports -- including two supervisors and County Administrative Officer Mark Uffer -- called them inaccurate and overreaching Granlund declined to respond to the report's conclusions. .

The head of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department civilian oversight office said Tuesday that he has concerns about what motivated sheriff's officials to try to conceal Mel Gibson's anti-Jewish statements and belligerent behavior from the public and is troubled by the department's initial description of the arrest as uneventful. At the same time, Mike Gennaco, who heads the Office of Independent Review, said an initial review of the case found that no laws had been broken and that the arrest had been handled within departmental policy. Still at issue is whether Gibson -- who issued a second apology Tuesday explicitly acknowledging that he had made anti-Semitic remarks and asking to meet with Jewish leaders -- was given special treatment by sheriff's officials because of his celebrity status. Sheriff's Department officials confirmed to The Times on Tuesday that a uniformed deputy drove Gibson from the Malibu-Lost Hills station to a tow yard to retrieve his Lexus LS sedan after he was released on bail Friday morning alamo bowl 2008 . Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the 10-mile ride in a marked patrol car was not unusual. "We do this for someone from time to time at all of our stations," he said, adding that officials decided to drive Gibson to avoid a confrontation with gathering media. But one department source, who asked not to be identified because of the case's sensitivity, said it was a courtesy rarely extended to other suspects at the station.

Reporters were not initially informed of Gibson's profane outbursts, attempt to escape custody and repeated threats to the arresting deputy fiesta bowl . Instead, Whitmore initially described the arrest as "without incident. ""If I described what I know about the arrest, I'm not sure I would have used those words," Gennaco said. In his comments Tuesday, broadcast live by cable and local media, Gennaco confirmed that the part of the arrest report detailing Gibson's "increasingly belligerent" behavior had been removed from the original report and purposely placed in a supplemental document by station-level supervisors. However, Gennaco said he had found no evidence so far that the decision had been directed, or even discussed, by Sheriff Lee Baca or other top officials. Gennaco said it was not necessarily unusual to break an arrest report into more than one part, adding that it is sometimes done to protect the integrity of an investigation. "Was the modification of this report done in a way so that the disclosure of information to the public would somehow be altered?" Gennaco asked. "I don't have the answer to that question. "Gennaco said that his probe was in its early stages and that he still had "some concerns about the access to that information. "Gibson was pulled over about 2:30 a. m Alamo Bowl .

"I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge," the statement said. Gibson had previously apologized for "despicable" behavior, but several prominent Jewish leaders said that wasn't enough. The new statement satisfied some critics. "This is the apology we had sought and requested," said Abraham H Foxman, Anti-Defamation League national director. "We are glad that Mel Gibson has finally owned up to the fact that he made anti-Semitic remarks, and his apology sounds sincere. "But in an advertisement placed in the Business section of today's Los Angeles Times, veteran producer Merv Adelson called on Hollywood to protest Gibson's comments.

Shapiro said this is the first case involving a high-profile celebrity he has handled in the two years he has worked in Malibu rose bowl travel packages . He said he would treat the case "the same as any other," while at the same time acknowledging that there are some differences. "I've locked up all the materials I have in the Gibson case and I'm the only one who has access to them," Shapiro said. "The best indication of the future is what has happened in the past In this case, things already have leaked to the media. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure this doesn't happen here. "In addition to locking away the material -- which reportedly includes audio- and videotape from the arrest and Gibson's booking -- Shapiro said he notified the court administrator that if he files charges, he will file them directly to her instead of to the clerk's office.
