A former Greene County (PA) detective has been accused of lying about his military service… among other things.<\/p>\n

Tim Nease<\/a>, 63 y\/o, of Hickory PA was fired over a year ago but now is being accused of falsifying his resume in order to get his job as a detective.<\/p>\n

Greene County Detective Accused of Falsifying Resume<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

GREENE COUNTY, Pa. \u2014 <\/strong>A former detective with the Greene County District Attorney\u2019s Office is accused of making false claims about his military service and lying on his resume to get the job.<\/p>\n

Court documents claim Tim Nease misled Greene County District Attorney, County Commissioners, and HR, by making numerous false statements about his professional record before being hired as a detective in June 2021.<\/p>\n

The documents say his employment lasted just two weeks before he was terminated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest things, most important things, is that when applying to law enforcement, people are honest about their backgrounds and the qualifications because these are high-security offices,\u201d Greene County District Attorney David Russo said.<\/p>\n

Nease is facing these charges of falsely pretending to hold notary public office or hold a professional\/occupational license, unsworn falsification to authorities, and misrepresentation of military or veteran of the military.<\/p>\n

Court documents said some of Nease\u2019s work history was unverifiable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant made false claims of military service to gain employment through government offices,\u201d Russo said. \u201cMy office has the utmost respect for our veterans, of the sacrifices that they\u2019ve made, so we take claims of stolen valor very seriously.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Former Greene County detective accused of lying about military service<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A former detective for the Greene County District Attorney\u2019s office is accused of lying about serving in the military and holding various police training certificates, which helped him to be hired last year when he briefly worked there as a criminal investigator.<\/p>\n

Timothy D. Nease Sr., 63, of Hickory, was charged Thursday by the same office he worked for during a two-week span in late June and early July before he quit mid-shift when he could not provide proper documents for his military and police history, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Nease was originally considered for the detective\u2019s position in May 2021 when his resume was sent to human resources. District Attorney Dave Russo interviewed him two weeks later and reviewed the resume, which referred to Nease as a retired captain who served in the U.S Coast Guard.<\/p>\n

Nease was hired as chief detective and began working June 28. Two weeks into Nease\u2019s tenure, Russo asked for documentation supporting aspects of his resume \u2013 including military service and police training certificates \u2013 so they could be placed in his personnel file. Nease apparently brought a binder of paperwork in on July 12 to show Russo his work background, but would not allow the district attorney to make copies, according to court documents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a LinkedIn account<\/a> that appears to be associated with Nease, he goes by “Captain Timothy Nease.”\u00a0 It is unclear if that is a reference to his supposed Coast Guard service.<\/p>\n

A search of Nease’s prior address history did not suggest an association with being stationed close to any military base, most of his time being spent in Pennsylvania as well as some time in Florida and Indiana.<\/p>\n

A thorough search of the DoD Manpower Data Center (SCRA) database did not produce service dates on Nease but that resource is sometimes unreliable for time spent in the reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
