Chief Moose is Now Hawaii 5-0

I was wondering what happened to this chucklehead. Chief Charles Moose was the dolt who botched the sniper investigation in 2002 by chasing after white vans instead of the Chevy Caprice that Boyd and Malvo were using. I guess Moose took his profits from his book deal and got as far away from Maryland as he could while still maintaining his US citizenship. He must have run out of money so he joined the Honolulu police academy. He is now a common flatfoot at the ripe old age of 53.

From NBC4 here:

Charles Moose, the former Maryland police chief who headed the 2002 Washington-area sniper manhunt, graduated last night as one of 40 new Honolulu police recruits.

Moose will hit Oahu streets for patrol duty at 6 a.m. Monday along with a Honolulu Police Department veteran. The 53-year-old said it’s been a long time since he worked the street, but it’s exactly what he wants to do over the next several years.

Moose resigned as Montgomery County police chief in 2003 amid criticism from county ethics officials. They alleged he was cashing in on his job by writing a book about the serial sniper case that made him a national celebrity.

According to some reports, Boyd and Malvo were stopped several times at road blocks. But it was Chief Moose that refused to include the Caprice, that several witnesses saw, as one of the vehicles to look for. I remember that horrible time around my house when you had to hide behind your car door to pump gas hoping that a sniper couldn’t see you.

I wonder if Dog the Bounty Hunter and Chief Moose will team up and do a reality show together? The Dog and Moose show would be quite a hit. They could drive around in a white van together.
