A sheriff’s deputy trainee looking to get in good with the ladies was reportedly busted by a California bartender for showing off graphic photos of the helicopter crash that killed NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven other people.
Photos of the Calabasas hillside immediately after the January helicopter crash — which also reportedly feature victims’ remains — were already a topic of conversation among first responders just days after the tragic incident, according to the Los Angeles Times.

It’s not clear who snapped the photos or how many people the images have been shared with — but sources told TMZ at least one Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, who is in training, was recently passing around the pictures at a bar in a bid to flirt with a female patron.
“He tried to impress a girl by showing her the photos,” the source told the site, adding that the conversation was overheard by a bartender who in turn, filed a complaint with law enforcement online.
