Policeman Who Led Sniper Probe on Active Duty

Thu March 20, 2003 06:39 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Charles Moose, the police chief who led the probe into last year's sniper killings around the U.S. capital, has been called to active duty with the U.S. Air National Guard, a police spokeswoman said on Thursday.
The Montgomery County government said Moose received notice of his active duty status as a major in the District of Columbia Air National Guard on Tuesday as the United States mobilized for war against Iraq. Moose heads the police department in the county, parts of which were paralyzed by a string of random shootings.

Suspects John Lee Malvo, 17, and John Allen Muhammad, 42, were arrested and accused of killing 13 people and wounding six others in Washington, Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. Moose won a book deal from publisher Dutton Books to tell the story of the investigation.

I take it that this means he'll be looking for a caucasian skinhead with WMD, instead of an Arab with a moustache?

Charles Moose, the police chief who led the probe into last year's sniper killings around the U.S. capital, has been called to active duty with the U.S. Air National Guard...

National Guardsman....no.

But he'd have fit in well as a UN weapons inspector...

BLIX UND MOOSE...

Major Moose, good luck to you.

Hold on a second!

Doesn't Moose need to be in court in a few weeks?

Activated doesn't mean deployed, FWIW. Wait & see.

On the local front, The Mongomery County 'Ethics Board' has shot down Moose's book & movie deals.

Seeker_two, that's not a uniform. It's a rental. The tux place must have been flat out of cummerbuns.
