Tonette Hayes, 60, pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge of unlawful use of a badge, said Sarah Ardalani from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Hayes was sentenced to three years probation, and the one day she spent in county jail was credited towards that time, said Ardalani.
In addition, Hayes was sentenced to 30 days of community service; 26 weeks of counseling; and was ordered to not possess a guard card or impersonate a police officer.
The second of the three suspects originally charged in the case died shortly after making a court appearance on April 19, and the third had their case thrown out the same day.

Previous story from May 2015:
County prosecutors filed a complaint against three men sought by Sheriff’s Department officials last week in connection with charges they organized a fake police department and pretended to be officers.
The court documents accuse three men — David Inkk Henry, aka Rudolph Rusell, 46; Tonette Denise Hayes, 58; and Brandon Kiel, 31 — with charges that include perjury by declaration for calling the “Masonic Fraternal Police Department” a state agency, and impersonating a police officer.
The allegations stretch back to January, and allege that the three men introduced themselves, in a uniform, as their own police agency, which is against the law.
The investigation is being handled by the Emergency Operations Bureau of the Sheriff’s Department, which released few details, citing “an ongoing investigation.”

A website for the group lists the following information:
“The Masonic Fraternal Organization is the oldest and most respected organization in the “World.” Grand Masters around the various states are facing serious safety concerns for their Jurisdictions and their family members. The first Police Department was created by the “Knights Templar’s” back in 1100 B.C.”
A website identifies the group’s “chief of police” as “Chief Henry.”
The group’s website also claims to have deeper roots than “other police departments,” because it was “here first.” The organization’s page claims to have a headquarters in Beverly Hills. A call to an 818 number listed there was not answered.
Henry could face six charges: three counts of perjury pertaining to alleged claims over the fictitious police department, and three counts of impersonating an officer.
Hayes and Kiel could face six charges, with five counts of impersonating an officer, and another count citing unlawful use of identity.
All three were released on various bail amounts and due back in court to answer to the charges.

On February 5th 2014.. I was targeted, doxed, bombarded with a reputation destruction campaign, drugged, kidnapped, tortured, sexually assaulted, gravely injured, and almost assassinated by staff Senator Kamala Harris.
– The people that orchestrated this attack on me were David Inkk Henry, Brandon Kiel, and deathcult leader Reverend Tonetta Hayes. I survived direct hand-to-hand combat with David Henry.
– I escaped unlawful captivity and fled to California Dignity Hospital in Hollyweird, CA. I begged for a doctor and an attorney. Instead.. the ER staff mocked me and sexually assaulted me. These sex criminals in scrubs even had the perverse audacity to watch pornography while taking turns sexually assaulting me. I was abandoned in a dumpster as dead. I literally had to perform emergency field surgery on myself to avoid bleeding to death.
– I booked a flight out of the socialist banana-republic 3rd-world shithole of Los Angeles and returned to the United States.
– When I hired an attorney to sue.. my attorney was drugged, kidnapped, raped, and left to die on the side of a rural road. I have been unable to find another attorney brave enough to take on Senator Kamala Harris.
– Senator Kamala Harris then used her office, the LAPD, the LASD, a DHS Fusion Center, and the DC Capitol Police to intimidate me, silence me, and to cover up the attack on me. I continue to face intimidation and harassment from Democratic Party thugs and low-IQ government bullies even to this day.
– The injuries from the attack make it impossible for my body to digest certain foods, defecate normally, have sex, or process swallowed medication.
– I am dying of the injuries sustained during this attack.
