Mecklenburg County DA asks SBI to investigate Sheriff McFadden over misconduct allegations, including retaliation and misuse of funds.
Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather has requested the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) probe allegations against Sheriff Garry McFadden, following a petition filed by five county electors.
The petition, citing misconduct, threats, misuse of office resources, and potential criminal violations, alleges McFadden retaliated against a state representative, undermined jail safety, and used official funds for personal travel and political activities.
The SBI investigation, which will examine claims dating to 2018, is ongoing, and Merriweather has not yet decided whether to pursue removal, noting such actions are rare.
McFadden has not commented, and his office acknowledged awareness of the petition.
