WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- The head of the Detroit FBI office has been returned to duty and three men are under arrest, accused of trying to frame him on corruption charges.
Special Agent in Charge Willie Hulon had been transferred from Detroit to Washington while the investigation was conducted. FBI Director Robert Mueller said Thursday, "I am happy to announce that SAC Hulon will resume his duties and will return to lead the dedicated men and women of the Detroit Field Office."
The three suspects -- Myron Strong, 33, Andre Boone, 26, and Richard K. Ready, 32 -- were arrested last week on a variety of charges, and charged Thursday with making false allegatons against Hulon.
The complaint alleges they conspired to create the impression that Hulon leaked sensitive law enforcement information to drug traffickers, using scripted conversations on an FBI-monitored call.
Strong is also accused of falsely getting tens of thousands of dollars by pretending to help the FBI break up a drug ring.
