| Commerce, CA on a clear day looking into Downtown LA |
LOS ANGELES – A City of Commerce councilman must resign and abstain from holding public office for the next three years after pleading guilty today to obstruction of justice, the District Attorney’s Office announced.
East Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Henry Barela, who imposed the sentence, further indicated that Hugo Argumedo, 49, may not hold public office while on his three-year probation term.
Deputy District Attorney Sandi Roth of the Public Integrity Division said the defendant pleaded to a misdemeanor count of obstructing justice. A felony count of perjury by declaration was dismissed at sentencing.

The false affidavit, signed by Argumedo, was filed by Leal in an attempt to defend allegations that he failed to pay a settlement owed to the City of Commerce after a contractual dispute.
Argumedo’s conduct caused the city to incur additional legal fees and resulted in a miscarriage of justice to the city, the prosecutor said.

The case, filed Dec. 14, stems from a false affidavit that Argumedo certified as true, filed in a civil lawsuit between the City of Commerce and the former city attorney, Francisco Leal.

So wait a minute. Hugo gets dumped, and what about Leal? How come Leal isn't facing a judge and the legal system?
Maybe, Hugo "cut" a deal...
Wow. There HAS to be more to this situation...
Oh, wait - Hugo did nothing wrong? It's about time this scum gets dumped. He's nothing but a sociopath who can't admit to fault no matter what the case may be. He is so DISHONEST and deceitful. He and his brothers are nothing but thugs, no education and just trying to run their own game in whatever they get involved in thinking they are big shots. They're nothing.
I've never thought much about Hugo after he literally threw his ex, the mother of his baby as well as his baby out in the streets late at night with no where to go. Then he immediately starts bringing all kinds of women home with him and now he's living with that albino. Goes to show his character. He doesn't care who he hurts as long as HE gets whatever he wants. If you can't run a clean home, how can you be part of running a city? What does he really have to give back to the community? NADA. Glad he's gone!
Hey Anonymous, got any good ideas to prevent this from happening again, lets forget the personal and get serious, new openings are opening up for city council members, got any suggestions, you know, people with credibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no doubts that you know whats going on in this city; be constructive!!!!!!
Must be a hater of the Chacon/Argumedo family because you are expressing yourself with so much hate. You must not like yourself what has this family done to you Mr./Ms. Anonymous? You must think the people who currently are the majority and running your city are doing a better job. But I guarantee you that Robert Fierro and Tina Baca will come down next and they are the ones that are taking money from this city. Tina Baca has not filed her campaign statements for years what is she hiding? She did the same thing Robert is being charged for.
