Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona was indicted today on charges of using his office to enrich himself. The Los Angeles Times has the details:

Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona broke the law by failing to disclose that he had accepted tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts for himself, his wife and his former "longtime mistress," according to a federal indictment unsealed this morning.

The women, Debbie Carona and Deborah Hoffman, were described as co-conspirators and were also indicted.

The gifts -- primarily from former Orange County Assistant Sheriff Don Haidl -- included cash payments of as much as $112,000, a boat, a trip to Lake Tahoe and ringside tickets to the Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Trinidad title fight at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the indictment says.
