Following an investigation, Sampel was identified and is alleged to have committed the crime of second-degree criminal contempt.

The investigation was assisted by jail correctional officers, including Senior Correctional Officer J.M. Smart. The investigation was conducted by Genesee County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan DeLong.
