In October 2002 , several of the D.C. sniper attacks occurred in Montgomery County . Moose and the MCPD played a major role in the ensuing investigation . In June 2003 , Moose resigned amid controversy over a book he helped author alongside Charles Fleming , that detailed Moose 's experiences during the D.C. sniper attacks . The county government objected in stating that the MCPD chief was not allowed to profit privately from official duties ; the book itself was released on September 15 , 2003
