During the interviews in October 2002, Hayes described the computer and said that he used it during his patrol work as an officer. He also told conflicting information about the date that his grandfather passed away.
Authorities interviewed Hayes' colleagues and could not substantiate Hayes' claim that he used a laptop computer while on duty. Also, Maryland State Police documents submitted by Haynes to support his claim found that the laptop computer could not have been produced before July 2001.
The judge in the case ordered the Division of Parole and Probation to conduct a pre-sentence investigation of Haynes, who will
