Ex-Orange County deputy gets 4 months in jail for stealing from dead victims

A former Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy has pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four months in jail for stealing the credit cards of dead victims he came across while on the job, according to court records. Steve Hortz, 43, of San Dimas, pleaded guilty on Feb. 22 to single felony counts of burglary and grand theft and single misdemeanor counts each of burglary, identity theft and grand theft by embezzlement, records show. He was placed on two years of formal probation and must report to jail by June 3. Hortz responded on Aug. 19, 2020, to a woman’s Yorba Linda home for a welfare check and found her dead inside, said Kimberly Edds, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

Orange County District Attorney Spitzer Hits Back at Accuser in Harassment Claim

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer Wednesday fired back at a retired top-level prosecutor who filed a legal claim alleging she was subjected to retaliation for raising issues of sexual harassment and required disclosure of evidence to defense attorneys in two capital cases. Tracy Miller, who filed the claim against the county on Tuesday, said she was forced to retire early, alleging she was continuously undermined and marginalized for alerting officials to alleged sexual harassment on the part of retired prosecutor Gary LoGalbo, and for questioning the handling of the prosecutions of murder defendants Jamon Buggs and Aminadab Gaxiola Gonzalez. Several prosecutors are suing the county based on sexual and racial harassment claims stemming from allegations regarding comments made by LoGalbo, a close friend of Spitzer. But Spitzer on Wednesday accused Miller and recently fired prosecutor Ebrahim Baytieh of orchestrating a coordinated effort to smear his name ahead of a re-elec
