BALDWIN: This just in, the Los Angeles County deputy who fakes being hit by a sniper bullet one week ago today is no longer employed by the sheriff's department. And this news is coming from the sheriff himself during a news conference just moments ago. CNN's Stephanie Elam is watching the development for us in L.A. Does this mean the deputy was fired, Stephanie?</s>STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: He wouldn't say he was fired, just that he was no longer with the county. In fact, let me let you hear how the L.A. County sheriff, Alex Villanueva, put it in this presser.</s>ALEX VILLANUEVA, SHERIFF, LOS ANGELES COUNTY: As of last night, Deputy Angel Reinosa is no longer employed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department or by the county of Los Angeles. Again, by law, I am unable to discuss confidential peace officer personnel matters. And I cannot speculate on why he did what he did. As far as the criminal investigation of this incident, it's our intention to present our evidence to the district attorney's office for filing consideration in the very near future.</s>ELAM: That's the big part here, is that he could be facing criminal charges because of this, one being filing a false report. But he could also be facing civil charges because of the fact there was so much money spent on trying to find out where this sniper was.
