WEAZEL INVESTIGATION
By Gracie Grant
In a stunning account that raises serious questions about justice and internal politics, a former Co-Director of the FIB claims they were wrongfully terminated following a controversial malfeasance charge that never resulted in a felony conviction. According to the former official, the charge stemmed from the seizure of items during an exigent-circumstances entry into a private residence—an action they say was explicitly approved beforehand by both a court clerk and a judge. Despite this, the State Attorney pursued a malfeasance charge, which multiple legal sources allegedly acknowledged was misapplied and improperly used. Facing termination if a felony proceeded, the official says they were pressured into accepting a guilty plea to a misdemeanor equivalent under the belief their job would be preserved. Instead, they were fired anyway. “They said it was because it was a felony,” the former director stated, “but there is no felony on my record.”
The situation grows more troubling when viewed in context. The termination occurred just days after the former Co-Director began investigating a high-level, classified corruption case within government institutions—an investigation so sensitive, they claim, that even naming it could be dangerous. They allege the firing was premeditated, noting they were effectively removed from duty while still under “suspension,” and that leadership openly admitted they wanted to “make an example” of them. The former official also tied their dismissal to attempts to investigate the death of Alexis Rylee, their next of kin, whose killing allegedly involved police inaction and was followed by what they describe as a complete lack of investigative reporting and an active cover-up. “I started asking questions about her death and what she was investigating,” they said. “That’s when I lost my job.” If substantiated, these allegations suggest a deeply unsettling pattern of retaliation, misconduct, and corruption at the highest levels of law enforcement—claims Weazel News is continuing to independently verify.
