Maryland Trooper Who Accused Gansler Is Target Of Unrelated Investigation

The veteran state police lieutenant who documented allegations that Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler ordered troopers assigned to him to drive recklessly is himself being investigated concerning accusations that he worked as an armed security guard in the District and Virginia without proper licenses.

Two other troopers are also under scrutiny, law enforcement authorities said. They moonlighted with Lt. Charles Ardolini, who runs the state police executive protection unit, at a private security company based in Virginia.

Gregory M. Shipley, spokesman for the Maryland State Police, and Gwendolyn Crump, chief spokeswoman for the D.C. police, confirmed that the investigation is active. Crump said police are also looking into whether Collis & Associates, the McLean-based company for which the troopers worked, was properly licensed in the District. The Virginia State Police are also investigating the matter, a spokeswoman said. The troopers, including Ardolini, remain on full duty.
