CROFTON, Md. — A former Howard County police sergeant is facing federal theft and fraud charges.
It has to do with a collection of Civil War documents that the FBI said the sergeant stole and then tried to sell.
The federal charges focus on a collection of original Civil War letters, photographs and documents that the FBI said former Howard County police Sgt. Richard Malcolm stole from his father-in-law's house in Crofton and then tried to sell to a collector in White Plains, New York for $125,000 earlier this year.
The documents originally belonged to Maj. George Keller Leet, who was a member of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's personal staff.
According to charging documents, another collector found out about this pending sale and called Malcolm's father-in-law, who is a descendent of Leet.
