    LOS ANGELES — A former top-ranking Los Angeles County sheriff's official filed a legal claim Thursday that offered the first eyewitness account of Sheriff Alex Villanueva allegedly lying about his involvement in a cover-up and also made allegations about retaliation and other improprieties in the Sheriff's Department.

    The filing by former Assistant Sheriff Robin Limon, once one of Villanueva's closest advisers, alleges that she personally brought a DVD containing a video of a deputy kneeling on a handcuffed inmate's neck to Villanueva — and watched it with him and two others five days after the incident happened.

    Her account calls into question Villanueva's claim that he learned of the March eight months after it happened and took swift action.
