Anthony Garland was the son of Thomas Garland, and a resident of Hancock Park, Los Angeles. He was a classic case of a spoiled rich child, and he exhibited anger management issues as an adult. He was hired by his father to work as a security guard for the family's oilfield operations. In 2006, Garland and his father were approached by Abel Pratt in order to pin Gesto's murder on Raynard Waits and put Bosch off the pursuit. The plan fell apart, resulting in Garland killing Pratt and being killed by FBI agents.
