Lynnwood police official inves
LYNNWOOD, Wash. - A high ranking Lynnwood police official is the target of an FBI investigation, KING 5 has learned.
Neither the Lynnwood police department nor the city of Lynnwood will comment publicly about the case.
FBI sources say their investigation led them to search the high ranking official's office inside the Lynnwood police department, as well as his home.
KING 5 is told the official is being investigated for allegedly taking money and perhaps property that was booked into evidence or the property room by Lynnwood police officers. FBI sources say some of the cash may have been seized in criminal investigations. Other times it may have been money held on behalf of someone who was booked into jail, but never returned to claim it.
One FBI source who does not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the investigation says: "The money was collected by the police department. It was then released to individuals who didn't exist."
In other words, agents believe he may have been creating names in the records logs and releasing it to fictitious people, only to keep the money himself.
The FBI is looking to see how far back these crimes may have occurred and how much money might be at stake. The source says: "A thousand dollars here, a thousand there. Over the years that adds up to a lot of money."
No charges have been filed yet. Sources say the official in question has been cooperative with federal agents and has offered explanations for what's been going on. The FBI is now trying to determine if those explanations hold water.
This case could go to a grand jury next week.
