The Rise and Fall of Roy McGrath: From Bureaucrat to Fatal Confrontation with FBI.

Roy McGrath, a former Maryland state official, died in a confrontation with FBI officers who were attempting to apprehend him. He had been a fugitive from justice since March 13, when he missed a court appearance in Baltimore at which he was set to face charges of fraud and theft that centered on a $233,000 severance payment he arranged for himself to receive as he was leaving the Maryland Environmental Service to work as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s chief of staff. McGrath's problems began when he tried to begin running MES like “he was a Fortune 500 CEO, instead of the executive director of a part of state government.”
