Overview

• San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers is under FBI investigation following allegations of corruption, neglecting core police duties, and misconduct in the wake of a mass shooting.
• Complaints stem from within Capers' own department, with deputies accusing him of ignoring their misconduct and focusing on boosting the budget through questionable asset seizures.
• Jenifer Jones, a resident of San Jacinto County, turned to the FBI, claiming that Capers' office mishandled the investigation into her brother's fatal shooting; agents spent hours questioning her about events beyond her brother’s case.
• Capers drew significant criticism for his department's response to a county mass shooting, specifically for providing inaccurate information about deputies’ response time and raising fears among residents over neglect and misconduct.
• The FBI's probe was reportedly triggered by Jones' outreach, but officials have yet to comment on its progress; however, the agency's significant time spent with Jones suggests a 'great deal of interest' in the case.
