SAVANNAH CHATHAM METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT – CORRUPTION

By the end of May, 2010 CNT and the FBI had decided to bring the cases against James Williams and Varner as well as those on Willet Williams and Khaalis to a close and invited members of SCMPD to the FBI office for a June 3, 2010 meeting. At this meeting the FBI provided a detailed oral briefing about the investigations CNT and the FBI had been conducting concerning Khaalis and Willet Williams.

Fagerstrom, Oliver and Thompson professed to be puzzled as to why IA was being brought into this matter since IA does not normally get involved until a criminal investigation has been concluded. It appeared to them that a criminal investigation was still underway.

At the conclusion of the June 3, 2010 meeting at the FBI office, FBI Agent Josh Hayes, who had provided most of the briefing, depatted for the CNT office for the purpose of interviewing Khaalis. Hayes suggested that IA also conduct an interview of Khaalis. At the instruction of Major Fagerstrom, Oliver and Thompson went to the CNT office, watched Hayes interview Khaalis from a control room and then conducted a recorded IA interview of Khaalis.

Thompson and Oliver were resentful at being placed in such a position. They felt they had been given no time to prepare and had no idea whether Khaalis’ responses were truthful or not. They believed they were just being used by the FBI and CNT to try to extract a confession from Khaalis.

IA never interviewed Khaalis again, even after they had had time to prepare.

Again at the instruction of Fagerstrom, Oliver and Thompson proceeded from the CNT office to the IA office for the purpose of interviewing Willet Williams. Thompson and Oliver again believed they had been given no time to prepare and the interview was “minimal”, lasting, an estimated 20 minutes.

IA never interviewed Williams again, even after they had had time to prepare.

About two weeks after the FBI briefing, or in about mid-June, 20I0, Pete Delatorre and Eric Broome went to the IA office to give Oliver and Thompson a more detailed briefing. They learned that Major Fagerstrom had been transferred from IA and replaced by Captain Hank Wiley. Delatorre viewed this as a bad development because Wiley was widely viewed as being very close to Chief Willie Lovett and Delatorre feared the IA case would not be pursued.

At this second meeting Delatorre and Broome turned over to IA everything that CNT had up until that point prepared on Khaalis and Willet Williams.

During the course of the briefing Oliver and Thompson made disparaging remarks such as “you guys don’t have anything” and “you’re making this stuff up”.
