DALLAS (AP) — A woman interviewed by FBI agents says they are investigating allegations of wrongdoing by a Texas sheriff who faced complaints of corruption for years before drawing broader scrutiny for his response to a mass shooting. In recent months, Jenifer Jones said she’s twice met with of FBI agents after contacting them about what she feels was the sheriff’s botched investigation of her brother’s killing. Jones says they gathered records accusing San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers Capers of misconduct and asked about events well beyond her brother’s death. Capers’ second-in-command said they haven’t heard from agents and that they’re open to outside scrutiny. An FBI spokesperson said the agency neither confirms nor denies investigations.
