Carlos Tapia, president of the San Mateo County Deputy Sheriff’s Association, turned himself in Tuesday afternoon on charges that include felony grand theft, according to a statement from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department.
Tapia surrendered at around 1 p.m. According to a video released by the union, he was not in handcuffs but was accompanied by several people, including family members.
“Carlos Tapia was arrested by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office for felony grand theft and theft by false pretenses. He was booked into a San Mateo County Correctional Facility and has since been released on bond,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
Sean Harper, a sergeant with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and board member of the Organization of Sheriff’s Sergeants, told reporters that Tapia’s arrest bears “all the earmarks of whistleblower retaliation.”
