Alarcon's attorney Fred Woocher says when Alarcon was in the state legislature, it didn't matter whether he lived full time in Panorama City or Sun Valley, and when he joined the city council, Alarcon was living outside his district only because his house was being renovated.
KNX 1070 reporter John Brooks says when the allegations first came out, he visited Alarcon's home in in his district of Panorama City and found the councilman getting out of the shower.
