In 1994, Hill was convicted of taking $2,500 from an undercover FBI agent for help with legislation; he spent 4 years in prison.[1][2]

In August 2020, Hill's home in Whittier was raided by the Los Angeles county district attorneys office who served a search warrant in connection to a corruption probe into a failed solar project that cost the City of Industry $20 million and left taxpayers with nothing to show for it. [3]

In September 2021 Los Angeles County prosecutors filed felony corruption charges against Hill and three others. The charges are in connection to a failed solar project that cost taxpayers 20 million dollars with nothing to show for it.[4]
