Fullerton Fire Department officials reportedly told a KCBS/Channel 2 news reporter that Lytle has been placed on administrative leave.

Depending on how the case against him plays out, Lytle could be fired, the officials are reported to have added.

It is apparently being reported behind the Orange County Register's fabled paywall that Lytle was hired as a Fullerton firefighter in February 2008.
