According to the documents, investigators want information dating back to January 2004 relating to a contract with Correct Care Solutions - a group that provides medical care to places like jails.

The document states federal investigators requested information about contracts the Sheriff’s Office had with the medical company which includes payments given to McCabe for gifts, campaign contributions and travel and entertainment reimbursements.

In addition, federal investigators requested documents related to the website 811marketplace.com, a program that offers people the opportunity to pay for meals for their loved ones while they are behind bars at the Norfolk Jail.

McCabe announced his retirement in December and has been keeping a low profile in recent months and not returning calls.

McCabe served as Sheriff for 23 years.

News 3 called McCabe for comment, but have not heard back.

A man who identified himself as a friend said McCabe was not available to speak to us.
