FBI searched Police Department’s evidence storage

When I first started to read this article, it really did not make much sense. It starts of by saying that the FBI searched the Galena Kansas evidence storage searching for an item which was easily located. Then it goes on and changes its story as far as what they were looking for. Now they are looking for a gun. It then goes on to state that they do not believe that they will find anything out of place.
After I had read through the first two changes of story, I discovered that the FBI is actually looking for an individual that had made some allegations towards Galena Police Officers. The rest of the article is as follows:
Paul Woody, of Joplin, Mo.,was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after a non-injury accident March 2 in the parking lot of Orthopedic Specialists of the Four States. The FBI was called after allegations were made that officers had assaulted Woody while in custody. There is a report of a medical examination done by Galena, but no comment would be made as far as to what he was being examined for. Woody was held for 48 hours and then released after no formal charges were filed against him.
Now I don't know about you but something here is just not right. There are two many changes in the story about why the FBI was actually investigating, and why they were even in town. Why would the FBI be interested in an alleged assault, isn't that the job of Internal Affairs? Something here just does not sound right to me. I would like to have been a fly in that room to see why they were actually so interested in this particular allegation. There have been many of these types of allegations over the years and the FBI has never come in to investigate, and if they did, it was not made to be public knowledge.
I wanted to post this story because it makes absolutely no sense to me. I feel like there is something that was intentionally left out. I am just really curious to what that might be.
