Fugitive former chief of staff to Maryland gov. dead after confrontation with FBI 

The fugitive former aide to ex-Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan was shot dead Monday night during a confrontation with federal authorities.

Roy McGrath’s death put an end to a three-week-long manhunt for him that began after he fled before the start of his trial for wire fraud, embezzlement, misconduct in office and improper use of state funds last month.

FBI agents found McGrath near Knoxville, Tenn., at around 6:30 p.m. Monday, and he was shot and killed during the confrontation, according to his attorney and federal authorities, the Baltimore Banner reports.

It’s unclear if gunfire from the agents or a self-inflicted wound killed the former Maryland governor’s chief of staff.

  1. Now I understand why he was on the run-he was on the fbi hit list. I know he was a scumbag if he was associated with fat Larry but criminals used to get trials. The communists have turned my once great America into a third world country.

    1. Actually he didn’t want the job with Larry. He was persuaded by him. He worked at MES. He actually took a pay cut taking the job. He was a Trump supporter and friends with desantis. He has 3 books his attorney put our on Amazon.

  2. Clearly he had a lot of secrets he might have shared. Appears more of a bargaining chip/plea deal kinda guy….not a shoot’em out with the fbi type. Wouldnt it be grand if he had a deadman’s switch?

  3. He knew too much. Taken out by the corrupt Department of Justice and the FBI.
    He was given the Clinton treatment!
