William Thomas Carey<\/strong>, a former captain with the Los Angeles Sheriff\u2019s Department, plead guilty this afternoon to one count of making false declarations for lying on witness stand last year during the federal trial of another Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department’s deputy.<\/p>\n

Carey, 57, who was the head of the LASD\u2019s Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, pleaded guilty to the felony charge before U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Carey is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Anderson on Jan. 25, at which time he will face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

Carey\u2019s co-defendant, former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka<\/strong>, is scheduled to go on trial in this case on Nov.3, officials said.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the agreement, prosecutors will seek leniency for former Capt. William \u201cTom\u201d Carey in exchange for his cooperation as they go after Paul Tanaka, once the second-highest-ranking official in the Sheriff\u2019s Department, according to a story in the Los Angeles Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutors indicted Carey and Tanaka were indicted in May on felony counts that they allegedly took part in a scheme to thwart a federal investigation on the jail in the use of excessive force and corruption.
