(Update 11:50 p.m.: He’s dead of a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound.) Roy McGrath, the fugitive former chief-of-staff for former Republican Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, has been apprehended in Tennessee, the Baltimore Banner reports. Police had initially believed he had fled to his retirement home in Florida, but after offering a $20,000 reward, they suspected that he had fled overseas.
Officials say McGrath was wounded during the apprehension, but specific details of the operation were not known. (Updated 9:14 p.m. ET: The Baltimore Sun reports McGrath suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His condition is unknown.) The former head of Maryland’s Environmental Commission before joining Hogan’s executive office, McGrath skipped town just prior to his trial date after officials claimed he forged documents to obtain a near quarter million dollar payout and an increased pension upon his retirement.
