On Feb. 16, 2024, the Illinois State Police and the McHenry County State's Attorney's Office filed charges against Marvel, including: 8 counts of official misconduct 2 counts of solicitation of a sexual act 1 count of defrauding drug and alcohol screening tests According to court records, Marvel pleaded guilty to two counts of official misconduct and pleaded not guilty to the other charges. What they're saying "The McHenry County Sheriff's Office holds every member of our team to the highest standards of integrity and accountability. When we were first made aware of Marvel's actions, we took swift action—placing him on administrative leave and launching an internal investigation. Before that process concluded, he resigned in December 2023, and his resignation while under investigation was reported to the Illinois Training and Standards Board in accordance with the SAFE-T Act. The Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board is responsible for decertification, which means revoking an officer's certification to work as a law enforcement officer," the sheriff's office said. Further details on the case haven't been released.
