Deputies change stories on jail visitor's beating, court records show

he sheriff's deputies all told the same story.

A man visiting his brother in Los Angeles County Jail, they said, fought with them in a waiting area and had to be restrained. The five deputies involved in the struggle adamantly denied the man's allegations that he had been handcuffed and then beaten.

Their account remained unchanged under scrutiny from internal sheriff's investigators, the district attorney's office and the man's defense lawyers. No one wavered even when federal authorities obtained an indictment accusing them of assault and civil rights violations.

But two of the deputies have now changed their stories.

Security guard orange county.
