Col. Howard Walter, Harford County Sheriff R. Thomas Golding?s second-in-command, was grilled Monday by an investigator from the State Prosecutor?s Office about allegations that his boss may have pressured deputies to contribute to Golding?s campaign, according to a senior law enforcement source.

Golding ended his re-election campaign Thursday, citing a desire to keep “nasty” politics from “ripping” the agency apart.
