Joseph Iniguez, 36, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication on Dec. 11 after officers pulled over a vehicle driven by his [homo] fiancé shortly before midnight. Hours before the lawsuit was made public, Azusa police released several pages of documents in response to a public records request filed by The Times. In the documents, an officer claimed Iniguez had “bloodshot” eyes and was slurring his speech when he allegedly interfered with the officers’ actions during the vehicle stop.
According to the police report, officers initially stopped Iniguez’s vehicle because his fiancé, who was driving, made an illegal U-turn into a McDonald’s drive-through in the 900 block of East Alosta Avenue.
The officer threatened to arrest Iniguez for public intoxication because of his admission that he had been drinking. Ultimately, the officer said he handcuffed the driver because of Iniguez’s constant interference and then placed Iniguez under arrest.
“I could see that his [Iniguez] eyes were bloodshot and watery, he had slurred speech, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath and person, he admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages and he was not listening to commands from officers,” the report read.
Iniguez had been a prosecutor for only a few years when he announced a longshot bid to unseat then-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey in 2019. After gaining little traction in the race, Iniguez dropped out and joined Gascón’s campaign team. After Gascón’s victory, Iniguez was named interim chief deputy district attorney, making him the de facto second-in-command of the nation’s largest prosecutor’s office.
Iniguez has since been replaced in that position and now serves as chief of staff, but his rapid ascent has drawn scorn from many longtime prosecutors, who believe he lacks the experience necessary to hold such a high rank within the office.
