The Infamous Ex-Chief

Police corruption, Ohio oversight, and a public records promise that never happened — that’s what this episode peels back. We lay out the Macron files, the five boxes the Sheriff’s Office claims “contained nothing new,” and why that claim collapses under the paperwork, DNA notes, surveillance timelines, and sworn interviews that still don’t add up. 🔍

For nearly a decade, Medina County’s explanation has been a patchwork of...

Sheriff Grice keeps repeating the same tired line: “We’ll reopen if new evidence presents itself.” But what happens when five banker-sized boxes of case files suddenly surface in a public records lawsuit—boxes that were never acknowledged before? This episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief takes you inside the fight for transparency in Medina County, Ohio.

We break down the missing handwritten notes, the ignored surveillance foo...

Jewelry rumors. False narratives. And investigators who turned gossip into evidence. Welcome to The Jewelry Myth — an episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief that tears apart one of the most damaging smokescreens in the Bryon Macron case.

From the beginning, Medina County officials pushed the idea that Macron’s death was tied to money problems. They leaned on whispers of jewelry sales, blown-off customers, and even claims of “kno...

East Cleveland is at it again. Mayor Lateek Shabazz is appointing a so-called special investigator into the 2021 case of Vincent Belmonte and Sgt. Larry McDonald. But here’s the hard truth: this case was already fully investigated by BCI, handed to a special prosecutor, and reviewed by a Cuyahoga County grand jury — which returned a no bill. Translation: McDonald’s use of force was ruled justified.

So why drag this back in...

This episode is built as a cheat sheet for Tentacle Nation — a way to catch up quickly if you’re new to the Bryon Macron case. We’ve been covering this story piece by piece, but too many viewers have asked the same questions: What really happened? Why so many contradictions? Where was the accountability?

Here’s the reality: Medina County sold the public a timeline built on fiction. A township trustee vanishes. Sixty-seven ...

When Lafayette Township Trustee Bryon Macron vanished in 2016, the official story was neat and tidy — too tidy. This episode rips into the contradictions surrounding his recovery from Chippewa Lake: missing call logs, conflicting first responder accounts, and a trail of negligence that Medina County can’t explain. 🚨 We’ll walk through taped interviews with detectives, candid witness statements, and records that were either ignored...

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we pull apart the paper trail Medina County hoped you’d never read too closely. Reports say nothing, witnesses say less, but in the Bryon Macron case, silence screams louder than truth. One firefighter claims he cut something loose. Another denies it, then lawyering up when pressed. Deputies like “Dimmerswitch” Rees pile on assumptions instead of facts, calling witnesses liars without evide...

One retired and one active lawman. One dead trustee. And a re-investigation that feels more like a holiday gift exchange than a search for truth. In this episode, we tear into two fresh interviews conducted by Deputy Nicole Embury—part of what Medina County calls a “follow-up” into the suspicious death of Lafayette Township Trustee Bryon Macron.

We’re talking about bizarre jewelry questions, missing emails, and blocked voi...

East Cleveland’s police department was once a symbol of pride and discipline — now it’s a political pawn in a backroom power game. On July 30, 2025, Officer Latasha Moore, off duty and out of uniform, stormed into a rookie’s training session, unleashing a nine-minute tirade of racial slurs, homophobic insults, and challenges to fight in the parking lot. This wasn’t her first brush with controversy — she’s resigned three times and s...

Two names that keep coming up — Lynda Bowers and Michael Costello — both with connections to Lafayette Township, both claiming the Medina County Prosecutor chastised them for cooperating with law enforcement. In this exposé, we don’t just play the tape — we break it down.

🧨 This isn’t cooperation. It’s manipulation, misdirection, and political damage control.
We unpack the disturbing claims that witnesses were pressur...

n this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we dissect the illusion of investigation in the Bryon Macron case—an Ohio cold case steeped in silence, negligence, and forensic malpractice. From untested DNA swabs to a blood-smeared office with no follow-up analysis, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office and BCI left the truth buried deeper than Macron’s body. 🧬🚫🧩

Despite claims of a thorough investigation, key evidence like the ...

Corruption isn’t always hidden. Sometimes, it’s front-row at your township meeting, flipping people off and waving dirty laundry—literally. In this explosive new episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we revisit the case of Bryon Macron and expose how the same crew that buried the truth then is now hijacking public discourse under the guise of “civic duty.”

From ex-trustee Michael Costello’s obscene gestures and fake Facebook p...

They didn’t just fail Dawn Pasela — they buried her truth. What started as a career rooted in justice ended in silence, neglect, and a nine-page Sheriff's report that sat ignored… until now.

On what would’ve been her 40th birthday, a community gathered not just to remember, but to demand. Attorney Kim Corral, Gina Kinney, Rob McCoy, and many others stood up with evidence, autopsy contradictions, and proof of sabotage ...

Government corruption in Ohio is real—and this time, it’s personal. In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we dive into coordinated attacks, doxing threats, and failed media coverage by the Medina Gazette. 👇

When the trolls can’t argue facts, they attack the messenger. In this episode, The Infamous Ex-Chief takes a brief detour from the Byron Macron case to expose the cowardice and coordinated smear campaign coming fro...

On July 13th, 2025, we stood shoulder to shoulder with a community that refuses to stay silent. One year after the death of Christion Olson in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, the family still has no answers—just a wall of silence from investigators, a carousel of detectives, and a justice system that seems more interested in optics than truth.

This episode isn’t just about a walk—it’s about the will to keep walking when the system ...

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we reveal two damning interviews with Lafayette Township employee Richard Evans—one from the morning he found Bryon Macron’s blood in the township building, and the other, years later, after receiving a disturbing phone call from a man asking:
“What would it take to make someone disappear like Bryon Macron?”

Evans did everything right. He reported the call.  BCI traced it to a ...

In this episode of The Infamous Ex-Chief, we shine a long-overdue spotlight on Shirley Bailey—the elected Lafayette Township fiscal officer who may be the most credible, loyal, and overlooked voice in the entire Bryon Macron investigation.

Bailey’s 31-minute BCI interview is packed with detail, firsthand insights, and chilling contradictions to the official narrative. She recalls unauthorized access to township systems, ar...

Probation and parole are sold to the public as second chances, but if you've ever been on them, you know better. 🚨 In this powerful interview, investigative host The Infamous Ex-Chief sits down with watchdog and writer Mike Walters, whose viral article "Probation and Parole is a Trap" pulled back the curtain on a system designed to fail.

They dive into the immunity protecting probation officers, why marijua...

What happens when the truth becomes inconvenient? The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office waited five full weeks to respond to Ian McInnes' postconviction petition — and only filed their “opposition” the same day our first video aired. Coincidence? Not a chance.

In this episode, we expose the legal gymnastics used to keep decorated veterans like Ian McInnes and Anthony Holmes behind bars. We walk you through the ...
