L.A. County sheriff's officials may have overpaid for work, equipment

An internal report finds that Aero Bureau supervisors allowed a Carlsbad firm to bill for unjustified expenses while working on a fleet of helicopters. The department also bought equipment it didn't need from the firm.

Los Angeles County sheriff's officials overpaid a private contractor nearly $11 million for work that wasn't needed and aircraft equipment they already had, according to allegations in a sheriff's memo obtained by The Times.
