During his brief tenure in charge of the FBI’s Baltimore feed office, Richard A. McFeely refocused investigations on corruption and gangs, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Now McFreely is becoming assistant director of criminal and cyber operations at FBI headquarters.
During his thee years in Baltimore, McFreely oversaw high-profile cases, including the investigations of Baltimore police, violent drug trafficker Steven Blackwell, founder of the prison gang Dead Man Inc. and a man who tried to blow up an Army recruiting station, according to the Sun.
McFreely said he wasn’t changing the priorities of the FBI, but believed there was a disproportionate focus on terrorism.
