Detective Anthony Hamilton was involved in a controversial search at the Magnuson Grand Hotel in March 2021, which he believed to be illegal. After voicing his concerns and sharing video evidence, he was removed from the Tactical Response Team and suspended for two days. Hamilton filed a federal lawsuit alleging retaliation and misconduct by superior officers, but the lawsuit was dismissed in May 2023. In March 2023, he was terminated from the Sheriff’s Office for allegedly disclosing confidential information and making false statements during his campaign for sheriff.
