The U.S. Marshals Service has launched an interstate manhunt for Roy McGrath, a former chief of staff for Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, after he failed to appear for the start of his trial on fraud charges.
“It is now seeking to apprehend the former Maryland governor’s top aide after he failed to appear in court on Monday, March 13,” the office tweeted Tuesday. “If you have information on his whereabouts, submit a tip.”U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a warrant for Mr. McGrath’s arrest after he failed to show up in her Baltimore courtroom.
Mr. McGrath faces charges related to a payout he received after leaving as executive director of the Maryland Environmental Service to become Mr. Hogan’s chief of staff in 2020. When asked about it, prosecutors allege, Mr. McGrath falsely told the governor the MES Board of Directors had offered him the severance payment in accordance with their usual practice.
