The FBI is investigating a case involving a Chattanooga Police Department officer who resigned earlier this month just days after he was placed on paid administrative leave.
A list of internal affairs investigations involving Bryan Moody III shows an investigation was opened on May 8 that listed “conformance to law” as an open allegation. It is unclear from records what that alleged criminal activity might have been.
Responding to a request from the Times Free Press for the investigation report, an employee at the Chattanooga city attorney’s office wrote an email explaining the records were being withheld because the investigation was ongoing.
“The City has reviewed your request and has determined that the records requested are exempt from disclosure under the law,” the email read.” [The] FBI is investigating allegations on Officer Bryan Moody at this time.”
On Friday a police spokeswoman, Elisa Myzal, confirmed Moody was placed on administrative leave for unknown reasons on May 5, but he resigned shortly after on May 9. She declined to comment further on the investigation.
