Charles E. SebastianCharles E. Sebastian was the 36th mayor of Los Angeles, California, serving from 1915 to 1916. Originally a patrolman in the LAPD, Sebastian climbed the ranks to Chief of Police and served in that office from January 3, 1911 to July 16, 1915. He was the first L.A. police chief to be elected mayor, due in no small part to his crusade against vice. While running for office he became embroiled in a litany of charges but was later acquitted of them all. He did, however, later depart City Hall after adverse publicity concerning his personal life arose from the publication of a slew of letters of a damaging nature. He passed away April 17, 1929 and is interred at Glen Haven Memorial Park in Sylmar, California. Sebastian, Charles E Sebastian, Charles E
