Overview

• Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Susan J. De Witt approved a two-year diversion program with requirements including weekly therapy, random drug and alcohol testing, Alcoholics Anonymous attendance, and a prohibition on guns and knives.
• Prosecutors did not oppose diversion, and the district attorney’s office says the charges will be dismissed if Lauren completes all conditions; any violation could end the program.
• The court ordered quarterly progress reports, with a progress hearing set for Jan. 9 at the downtown Los Angeles courthouse.
• Lauren has pleaded not guilty to assault with a semiautomatic firearm and grossly negligent discharge, charges filed after an initial booking on suspicion of attempted murder.
• LAPD says she fired a 9mm handgun from her Eagle Rock backyard as officers searched for unrelated hit-and-run suspects; bodycam and home-surveillance videos were released, a gun and spent casing were recovered, and she was treated for a non-life-threatening arm wound.
