🌟 Congratulations, Senior DA Investigator Miche 🌟 Congratulations, Senior DA Investigator Micheal Brown! 🌟
We are proud to announce that Senior DA Investigator Micheal Brown has been awarded the San Diego Scottish Rite Law Enforcement Officer of the Year — representing the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
With over 30 years of experience in law enforcement — and 14 years with our office — Micheal has built a reputation as one of the most skilled investigators in the field, especially within the Economic Crimes Division, where he’s handled some of the most complex and high-profile fraud cases in San Diego.
🔎 In 2024 alone, Micheal worked on multiple major investigations, writing 44 search warrants and conducting over 160 interviews. One standout case involved Dr. Carlos Chacon, a plastic surgeon whose gross negligence tragically led to the death of a mother of two. Thanks to Micheal’s relentless pursuit of justice — including nearly 100 witness interviews — the case resulted in a 2nd-degree murder charge, bringing a sense of justice to the victim’s family and protecting our community from future harm.
Beyond his casework, Micheal is a team player and community servant, often stepping up to assist colleagues and volunteering in programs like Shop with a Cop.
👏 Please join us in congratulating Investigator Brown on this well-deserved recognition! His dedication, professionalism, and heart for justice continue to inspire us all. 👏

🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED: A $500,000 settlement has bee 🚨 JUST ANNOUNCED: A $500,000 settlement has been reached with San Diego-based Attractive Gems Jewelers for deceptive lending practices — thanks to a joint investigation by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan. 💥

The investigation revealed that the company misled consumers — including military service members — by falsely advertising a $10,000 store credit line as a way to build credit. In reality, the credit wasn’t being reported to credit bureaus and crucial loan information was hidden from buyers.

📌 Settlement Highlights:
✔️ $400,000 in restitution for harmed consumers
✔️ $100,000 in civil penalties
✔️ Strong measures to prevent future misconduct

This is a clear message: deceptive lending and false promises will not be tolerated in San Diego County — or anywhere in California. ⚖️💪

San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan announced last week that a teacher who inappropriately engaged in sexual relationships with two underage students has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to seven felony counts of related to various sex crimes.

Kyiri Tisdale, 32, a former teacher at Escondido High School, was arrested in August 2024 following an investigation by the Escondido Police Department’s Family Protection Unit. He was arrested at school while preparing for the upcoming school year.

“This defendant used his position of trust as a teacher to commit sex crimes against teenage students whom he’s supposed to nurture and protect,” DA Stephan said. “He not only physically violated his students but also violated the trust that the overwhelming number of teachers in our county work so hard to build with their students. There is no room in our schools for corrupt teachers who abuse their positions of trust to gain the confidence of students, only to take advantage of them sexually. I hope today’s sentence serves as a warning to anyone in a position of power that the truth eventually comes out, and you will be held accountable. I am proud of the victims for coming forward and I hope the end of this case provides the closure they need to move on and live healthy lives.”
