A recent incident in Los Angeles has brought to light the arrest of Marlene Esquivel, a member of the local social justice advisory board, on a domestic violence charge. The arrest took place in West Hollywood on Monday afternoon, as confirmed by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office records.
Esquivel, aged 41, was charged with a felony offense of “corporal injury on a spouse/cohabitant”, as reported by the WEHO Times. Unfortunately, details regarding the individuals involved or the specific circumstances leading to Esquivel’s arrest have not been disclosed at this time.
As a current member of the West Hollywood Social Justice Advisory Board, Esquivel plays a role in advising the city council on matters related to social and racial equity. She has been serving on the board since May 2025 and was officially sworn in by West Hollywood Vice Mayor Danny Hang, as evidenced by social media footage.
In light of the recent events, Esquivel has reportedly resigned from her position on the board. Efforts to reach out to Esquivel or other board members have been unsuccessful thus far. The Post has also attempted to contact the sheriff’s office for further information but has not received a response at this time.
Following her arrest, Esquivel was released on a $50,000 bond, according to jail records. The situation continues to evolve, and further developments may emerge in the coming days. It is essential to address instances of domestic violence and prioritize the safety and well-being of all individuals involved.
