FRPD adds response to Downes release on Tharpe-Bailey investigations
The day after Winchester Commonwealth’s Attorney Marc Abrams issued a response to Cynthia Bailey attorney David Downes release accusing the special prosecutor from his office and a Front Royal Police investigator of exerting undue pressure on his client to testify in the investigation into former Front Royal Mayor Hollis Tharpe, FRPD followed suit.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, a town police release from the office of Chief Kahle Magalis was issued. It states:
“In response to the assertions made by Defense Counsel David Downes, we have verified inaccurate information within the previously issued press release dated May 17, 2019 submitted by Downes. My Detectives performed their duties in accordance with the law, at the direction of their supervisors, and in conjunction with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s offices in a fair and impartial fashion. The investigation has been forwarded to the appropriate agencies for continued investigation and prosecution.”
