LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles Police Department’s first openly gay officer will make his first court appearance Tuesday on domestic violence charges.
Retired Sgt. Mitchell Grobeson, 57, was arrested Friday after a nearly four-hour standoff inside a West Hollywood home before he surrendered to a sheriff’s SWAT team.
Grobeson is being held on $250,000 bail on suspicion of corporal injury to a spouse, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. He was charged with assault with a firearm and criminal threats stemming from a domestic dispute with his husband that led to Friday’s standoff.
The incident began about 10:10 a.m. Friday in the 800 block of West Knoll Drive, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. No evacuations were ordered.
“Crisis Negotiation Team personnel made contact with the suspect requesting him to come out of the residence,” according to a sheriff’s department statement. “The suspect agreed and surrendered to Special Weapons Team personnel without incident.”
Officials did not release further details about the incident.
Grobeson sued the city of Los Angeles in 1988, alleging discriminatory practices against gay and lesbian employees by the police department. He won reinstatement to the LAPD as part of a settlement to that suit but later claimed that his bosses held the suit against him and filed a second lawsuit.
The entire legal saga took 25 years to play out, and Grobeson finally settled the second lawsuit in 2013.

Fag Fit
Trouble in paradise?
The LAPD is afraid of another law suit by the skicko.
Cat fight! Hair pulling, witch slapping and flapping kitty claws? Of course, he knew just how long to take the stand off before things got totally out of hand. He/It was playing the "Whaaaa, I want attention" card.
Government hires the strangest people. They go out of their way to stack their ranks with mentally ill deviates, liars, the unqualified and the corrupt.
This is something out of Southland, one of the best cop shows ever lol.
Are both “husbands” or is one the “wife”?
Haven’t figured this out yet.
Sounds like one of the Southland sub-plots.
Compared to the rest of the population, homosexuals suffer from huge incidence of addiction, diseases of all kinds, depression, suicide - and violence. And that violence does NOT come from the “straight” population. It is from other homosexuals.
Its just another manifestation of their mental illness.
Were they fighting over the rubber fist?
>>He was charged with assault with a firearm and criminal threats stemming from a domestic dispute with his husband that led to Friday’s standoff.<<
Maybe he pistol-whipped his husband in some kind of homo ‘mating’ ritual? Can husband #1 claim it was only harmless foreplay with Husband #2? The legal defense can have fun with this case at trial.
So was there a”four hour standoff” or did the perv/perp agree to surrender like the article also says?
This is impossible! “Gays” are the kind, hate-less, “gentle people,” aren’t they?
You got that right.
Yes it is. The real issue is: Why do people post topics related to gays, lesbians, and other sexually deviant perversions here?
deviates
liars
the unqualified
and the corrupt
That covers it.
The US government in all its glory.
Not sure.
But I guess if one is the ‘husband’, the other is the ‘wife.’
Eventually, same sex marriage (and Islam) will lead to an end to domestic violence laws.
Homosexuality begins and ends with abuse.
