patient. patient nowhere to be found. according to the court documents tedlor waited three hours before getting help. officers set up a search grid using a blood hound, plus a search and rescue suspects. hours later, they found the autistic man wandering down a street in the dark more than four miles from the gym where he first disappeared. tedlor who court documents indicate made $11 an hour lives in this silver spring apartment complex with his mother. investigators say the non-profit he worked for had previously disciplined for ditching patients but kept him on staff. >> it seems to me there is liability on the company side. that is for other people to determine. i think it's wrong. kevin: he i

criminal count of vulnerable adult abuse that carries up to five years in prison. the cops also say he gave them conflicting and incorrect information, which only made finding the disabled man all the more challenging. alison: so kevin, what is the status now? has the non-profit fired the care-giver? kevin: you know we called and e-mailed multiple times today to ask that very question. so far, the non-profit agency is keeping quiet. alison: all right. kevin lewis live for us. thank you. jonathan: the director of prince george's county liquor board was in court today. bribery scandal detailed by the feds seem to grow darker. maryland bureau chief brad bell is in greenbelt with new developments. brad? brad: this is the guy that the federal prosecutors paint as the ring-leader, the guy arrange bribes and serving as a middleman and taking a cut himself. they wanted him locked up because they said when they confronted him in december and he agreed to wear a wire to

tipping people off. when we got to court today the feds said they were not going to continue to detain him. they were going to release. take a look at the video. this is when david son carrying his 1-month-old child in a baby basket was released from federal custody. he was released to custody of his wife under strict rules. he can't even have a cell phone or access to a telephone, computer, tablet, anything in his house. he is not supposed to speak with what prosecutors called an extensive list of people who may be involved in this scandallal. so that is an additional reference to the notion that this bribery scandal is going to grow from the four people who were arrested last week. already we know of a couple of elected officials who have been implicated but not yet named. we believe that those names are going to be made public along with the charges at some point this week. the bottom line today david son has been

federal cust my. prosecutors not revealing much more about the case just yet. we will stay on this and we will be back at 5:00 with more. in greenbelt at the u.s. district courthouse, brad bell, abc7 news. alison: thank you. coming up here at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- police in france have arrested 16 people in the kim kardashian jewelry heist. plus -- >> there was one performance this year that stunned me. it sank hooks in my heart. michelle: "la la land" had a record night but everyone is talking about meryl streep's golden globe speech, her trump tirade and the president-elect's response next. jonathan: still ahead for us, are you still hanging on to your new year's resolution to get or stay in shape? we have five easy exercises that you can't drop. so easy. that is coming up for you. alison: today at 4:30, the f.b.i. beefing up security for inauguration day. inside the plans to keep the capitol

michelle: that was the beginning of two minutes in which she spoke out against president-elect donald trump without calling his name. alison: trump responded on twitter. what wonder what you think about his tweets. should he tweet once in office? head to wjla.com/votenow and weigh in that way. michelle: we want lindsey mastis to join us with reaction to this feud that is playing out on social media. lindsey: in trump, as you mentioned, gotten on twitter to talk about this. this is one of his tweets or was one of his tweets that looks like we just lost the connection there. let me try to push it back up. i will read it to you. basically he is saying meryl streep, one of the most overrated actresses in hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked me last night at the golden globes. he goes on to talk about denying that he mocked a disabled reporter. actress marlene tweeted i'd rather watch her tell the truth about someone mocking

person's politics. talk show host montel williams remarked meryl streep spoke for majority of the americans tonight. but not all of the colleagues agree with the message. look at what actor from joshua molina, he is going off on streep and he tweets tra donald trump writing i don't agree with a lot of your policies but you nailed it on the streep thing. she is not that good at acting. when she makes a good movie, i'll listen to her political views. then he tweets about losing followers saying it's worth it to be able to express my opinions freely and he even calls the streep supporters "streepies." the country is divided on her speech as well. back to you. michelle: okay. alison: strong reactions. jonathan: it will be nice when we get back to a place we don't all attack everywhere. michelle: i don't know that we are returning to that space soon, though. talk about the kardashians. 16 people arrested and taken in for questioning for their

michelle: here we go. just 11 days left in the trump transition. inauguration day is one week from this coming friday. to hit the ground running president elect donald trump will need his cabinet intact. that is a sore spot on the hill. democrats think the hearings should be after they complete ethics review.

that the hearings will go on but the nominees need to complete ethics process before a vote. today, trump said he believes all picks will be confirm and pledged to step away from the family business. jonathan: the f.b.i. is beefing up security for inauguration day. as michelle said, the clock is ticking down and fast. jeff goldberg along the national mall. no stone unturned as they prepare for this thing. the f.b.i. is rolling out all new toys and technology for this. jeff: yeah, there is a lot for them to show. we saw a lot of it today. if you come to the mall, you will see the signs that inauguration is coming everywhere. we saw the scaffolding put up here earlier today, a few hours ago at third and jefferson. big speakers awaiting the arrival of inauguration day. there is so much you will not see when it comes to keeping things safe on inauguration day. today we got a look at the tools and the teams that they will doe ploy in the inauguration to enhance the security but also to respond in the event of an emergency

incident. crews will have gas masks and air monitors to respond to a chemical attack. tools to dismantle a suspicious package like a backpack. robots controlled by the high risk tactic teams to protect areas that are not safe for individuals. with hundreds of thousands of people expected to be downtown for the inauguration next week, movement around the city will not be easy. >> it is challenging to posture the resources necessary to maintain the safety for the public as well as the smooth running of events in the inauguration. jeff: they believe the state, local, other law enforcement agencies are confident they will keep everything safe. they deal with this every four years but the threats are always changing and evolving. they have to adapt.

we have more coming up. until then, live on the national mall, jeff goldberg, abc7 news. jonathan: it's a little far out for the inauguration but in the years past, people have been frigid out. it's cold as can be. doug: i remember here for president reagan's second inauguration, a lot of time on the phone the night before because it was so cold and the went chills were incredible. this time around, next friday i'm fairly confident of the temperatures. i think we will be in the afternoon in the 50's. jonathan: that is nice! doug: maybe at noon upper 40's. it's not bitterly cold unless something crazy like an asteroid comes by. jonathan: don't say that. doug: we'll be fine. plenty to watch and work on for the forecast. but in the meantime check out the numbers. these are the mid-afternoon temperatures in the 20's. we are goingt

that is an improvement. the key is this high pressure that brought us the arctic air is moving out tonight. off to the east. it will increase the southerly winds and that will be the process. that is why we will warm up. we will warm to 40 tomorrow and we have clouds. wind chills are still with the gusts 10 to 15 miles per hour. later looks fine. 62 on wednesday. 64ing4 on thursday. in 12 to 13 minutes, steve rudin is here for the weekend outlook and a fresh ten-day outlook. we see temperatures do that swing. the arctic air going bye-bye for now. michelle: we have a crime alert in maryland. the standoff over a sandwich. baltimore county police say a man barricaded himself and fired off a gun after some one took a bite ou

cheese. he was eating with his wife and daughter at the time. no one was hurt but neighbors were told to shelter in place in the four-hour standoff. jonathan: anytime, volkswagen executive schmidt will be arraigned in federal court in detroit. he is accused of deceiving investigators about the v.w. emission stealing scandal. he was in charge of the regulatory compliance from 2012 to 2015. they will repair cars with the faulty emissions as part of a $15 billion settlement with the government. the v.w. sales jumped 15% last month. it was fueled by the growth in china. u.s. sales increase 20% over november but they dropped down 14% in germany, v.w.'s home market. did you know that today is the national clean off your desk day. look at

unseen, unnoticed, get away. they had cameras of every angle. the car was riddled with bullet holes. that is never good. the men ran away. so far they have not made arrests but it will only be a matter of time. michelle: not thinking once again. michelle: at a news station. jonathan: not the smartest guys in the world. jonathan: the vehicles of the year announce the big auto show in detroit. find out which took the top car and truck and the utility vehicle. that's coming up. michelle: first, though, compliments for the great service. but instead of a tip, a racist message left behind. >> great service but i don't tip black people. michelle: that is what carter got instead of a tip. find out what she would do if the customers came back. the regulars try to make it
