II. SUMMARY OF OFFENSE CONDUCT
1. On the 13th of July, 2026, at 12:28 PM EST, evidence concerning Private
AANJDMARCUS (hereinafter referred to as “accused” or “MARCUS”) was referred for
investigation following an intelligence operation. The evidence alleged that MARCUS
violated state laws and Operational Regulations (hereinafter referred to as “OPREGs”) of
the RNG in connection with their position as a guardsman.
2. The attached evidence (Exhibit A) presents REALBACONLEAF (hereinafter referred to
as “BACON” or “witness”) and on-duty RNG Private MARCUS of the 301st Infantry at
RNG Headquarters (hereinafter referred to as “HQ”) on July 2, 2026 at 2:31 PM RDT.
MARCUS is identified through the username displayed above their avatar and their
corresponding entry in the RNG database, as shown in Exhibit C. The visible RNG
uniform, rank seen on the patrol cap, and issued equipment further corroborate
MARCUS’s status as a guardsman.
3. Exhibit A shows MARCUS asking BACON at 0:11 whether BACON can drive them to a
police department so MARCUS can check their arrest record. BACON agrees to the
request and walks away at 0:25; MARCUS then states that they need to get off the RNG
team. At 0:35, MARCUS is observed using the RNG Main Gate team changer to go
off-duty, which is corroborated by MARCUS’s absence from the RNG team list on the
game’s leaderboard and the automatic removal of MARCUS’s uniform. At this time,
MARCUS is still observed possessing RNG-issued equipment on their person.
096-0702-MPI-RNG ~ 4 ~ 07/23/2026
4. Exhibit B shows MARCUS and BACON continuing to walk near the entrance of RNG
HQ. At 0:27, MARCUS is observed dropping RNG service equipment on the floor,
including one baton, one M2-M, one Para 17, handcuffs, one radio, approximately two
boxes of 9mm ammunition, approximately four boxes of 5.56mm ammunition, and one
flashlight. BACON subsequently picks up the equipment.
5. Section 2 of the DA-10 Standard Search Agreement, as seen in Exhibit D, states that
department personnel are “prohibited by law to drop, transfer, unlawfully store
department equipment including but not limited to – weapons, ammunitions, barriers,
cones, handcuffs, batons, flares, taser cartridges, tasers, radios.” Furthermore, section 4 of
the agreement, as seen in Exhibit F, further advises that a breach of the DA-10 may result
in a termination of employment.
6. In Exhibit E, MARCUS affirmed they had read, understood, and agreed to the DA-10.
This acknowledgment provides evidence that MARCUS had prior notice that dropping or
transferring equipment was prohibited.
7. Exhibit J presents the RNG equipment policy. 1001.2(e) states that guardsmen getting off
the team must dispose of their gear in the RNG evidence box; 1001.2(e)(i) further states
that if a guardsman is short on time, they should dispose of their equipment in a National
Guard vehicle. This policy also prohibits guardsmen from taking equipment off-team
unless authorized by another OPREG, as seen in 1001.2(g). At the time of writing this
report, no such evidence was located or recovered that indicates MARCUS used either
authorized method of disposal.
096-0702-MPI-RNG ~ 5 ~ 07/23/2026
8. The complainant (hereinafter referred to as “MIDFOLEY” or “complainant”) was
contacted for a voluntary interview as presented in Exhibit G. MIDFOLEY stated that
they were attempting to go legal and offered evidence of equipment dealing in furtherance
of that effort. MIDFOLEY subsequently provided the evidence and was granted a pardon,
as seen in Exhibit K. MIDFOLEY described the video as showing MARCUS conversing
with BACON, getting off the RNG team, then dropping multiple pieces of RNG
equipment that BACON collected. MIDFOLEY further stated that departments have strict
procedures regarding equipment transfer and handling.
9. BACON was contacted for a voluntary interview as presented in Exhibit H. BACON
confirmed that they were present during the incident. BACON recalled that MARCUS
was getting off the RNG team, and since MARCUS did not store their weaponry
properly, MARCUS dropped it to BACON. BACON admitted that they collected the
equipment, returned the handcuffs and ammunition, and retained the rifle and baton.
BACON’s statements corroborate Exhibits A and B.
10. MARCUS was contacted and was offered the opportunity to provide a voluntary
interview as presented in Exhibit I. MARCUS was given 24 hours to respond but did not
reply to the message. The lack of response was documented but was not treated as
evidence of wrongdoing.
11. Based on Exhibits A, B, D, E, H, and J, MARCUS possessed RNG-issued equipment
after getting off the RNG team and dropped multiple pieces of said equipment in the
immediate presence of BACON, who picked up the equipment, later stating in an
interview that MARCUS “just dropped it” to BACON. MARCUS’s prior
acknowledgment of the DA-10 supports probable cause to believe that MARCUS knew
dropping or transferring equipment was unauthorized.
096-0702-MPI-RNG ~ 6 ~ 07/23/2026
12. Furthermore, MARCUS is a public servant employed by the RNG as shown in Exhibits A
and C. MARCUS possessed government equipment as a result of their official position.
Although MARCUS changed to the Citizen team before dropping the equipment, the
conduct was still related to their office because the equipment was available to MARCUS
through RNG. Dropping the equipment for BACON to collect was an unauthorized
exercise related to MARCUS’s position. Per Exhibit E, MARCUS’s prior
acknowledgment of the DA-10 supports probable cause to believe that MARCUS knew
dropping or transferring equipment was unauthorized.
13. Based on the foregoing evidence, MARCUS retained RNG-issued property including one
flashlight, one Stetson M2-M, one Para-17, one baton, one radio, 9mm ammunition,
handcuffs, and 5.56mm ammunition after leaving the RNG team despite their prior
acknowledgment of the DA-10. Additionally, MARCUS subsequently dropped the
retained equipment in BACON’s presence rather than using the authorized method(s) of
equipment disposal as shown in Exhibit J, supporting probable cause to believe that
MARCUS fraudulently removed and disposed of government-issued property.
14. Additionally, MARCUS dropped RNG-issued equipment in BACON’s presence, after
which BACON picked up the equipment and later stated in an interview that they retained
the rifle and baton, as seen in Exhibits B and H. At the time, BACON was a civilian, and
no evidence was located indicating that BACON was authorized to possess RNG
equipment. Therefore, MARCUS’s act of making the equipment available for BACON to
collect supports probable cause to believe that MARCUS purposely facilitated BACON’s
possession of government-issued equipment.
