>Roy McGrath, thieving Chief of Staff to uber Ant-Trumper Larry Hogan shot dead as a doornail
According to FOX 5, McGrath, 53, was located by agents Monday at a shopping center in the 10700 block of Kingston Pike at Lovell Road in Knoxville at approximately 6:30 pm. He was shot and wounded during the arrest and then taken to the hospital. It remains unclear if the FBI agents shot McGrath or if he shot himself.
It has not yet been revealed how authorities located McGrath.
Jon Housley told the Baltimore Banner that as he was leaving a Gold’s Gym around 6:45 pm, he saw police vehicles around a white GMC Yukon SUV.
Hosley said both side windows of the Yukon had been shot out and that he saw a man being taken out of the SUV and put onto a stretcher, with a sheet pulled up to his neck, and that there was blood on the ground.
McGrath was indicted in October 2021 after being accused of stealing over $275,000 from the state government, falsifying documents, and other criminal activity. He was also wanted on charges of failure to appear after missing his federal fraud trial. He has been on the run since March 13 and the FBI was offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
McGrath had resigned as Hogan’s chief of staff after an investigation revealed McGrath had profited by defrauding the government. According to prosecutors, McGrath used money from environmental services to pay off a personal pledge to an art museum; had the environmental service improperly pay for a course at Harvard University; misled environmental service employees to pay him severance; claimed on timecards he was working when he was really on vacation and faked a memo that showed Hogan approved of the severance payment.
US Magistrate Judge Thomas M. DiGirolamo approved pretrial release for McGrath on the condition that he surrender his passport and report on a regular basis to the court. McGrath was permitted to travel if approved by the court and could not possess a firearm.
Last month, a self-published e-book titled “Betrayed: The True Story of Roy McGrath” went on sale by an unknown author who gave the name “Ryan C. Cooper” and claimed the book was based on McGrath’s manuscript and interviews.
The book was Number 4 among Amazon’s 100 bestsellers in “Political Commentary & Opinion” and a sequel published online last week described recounted McGrath’s tenure at the Maryland Environmental Service. Lawyers have previously said that the book could be submitted as evidence at trial.
This is a developing story.
and nobody gives a fuck.
