Summary
Two former top law enforcement officials in Oakdale, Chad Doyle and Michael Slaney, are facing five years in federal prison and $30,000 fines for orchestrating a decade-long visa fraud scheme. They helped a local businessman, Chandrakant Patel, fabricate crime reports to help foreign nationals qualify for U-visas — a program meant for victims of serious crimes. The operation involved bribes, fake victim listings, and widespread corruption across multiple agencies, leading to a 62-count indictment. All three key figures — including Forest Hill’s then-police chief Glynn Dixon — resigned after arrest. Slaney has already forfeited assets, while Patel and Dixon await sentencing. The judge recommended local federal facilities for Doyle and Slaney, underscoring that no one is above the law — especially when they betray their sworn duty.
