His problems started earlier, I think. A red flag came up when I saw that he ticketed the fire chief (and got fired for his trouble). Then later he kept escalating some issue above his superiors, despite being warned that his career was on the line. The guy just doesn't know his place.

As the person above you said, he should have made vague threats. This is negotiation 101. Government wants leverage, former employee wants leverage. They have what he wants ($), he has what they want (information).
