Ex-cop admits he blew whistle on Jerry Brown drug claim
James C. Pashley, 45, a former California state police officer from Torrance, identifies himself as the original anonymous source for allegations that Jerry Brown tolerated drug use at his Los Angeles home while governor. He says he saw marijuana butts during a 1976 explosives sweep at Laurel Canyon, while Brown and Linda Ronstadt were present, though Brown denies any use or tolerance. ABC confirms Pashley as the source and notes others, including supervisor Robert Ford, have echoed similar claims.
