The now 30-year-old Sean Yetman was arrested while wearing the coat of a Philadelphia officer who died in the line of duty. He pleaded guilty in Bucks County Court in May of that year to impersonating a public servant, a second-degree misdemeanor. He was sentenced to three months of probation for that crime along with a summary offense of driving with a suspended or revoked license, according to online court records.<\/p>\n
Yetman was arrested after being stopped on North Main Street in Doylestown during a routine traffic safety checkpoint while wearing the coat and displaying a Philadelphia police badge, according to court records obtained by Calkins Media. Both items belonged to the late Robert Hays, who was killed in the line of duty in 1995, the Philadelphia Police Department confirmed.<\/p>\n
Yetman told the Doylestown officers that he worked out of the city’s 26th District in Fishtown, but then added that he was in the police academy and working in the 26th as a drive-along, court documents show. The police coat, he said, belonged to his uncle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Apparently, the widow of the police officer had given the coat and badge to her son who knew Yetman, but didn’t know how Yetman came to possess the coat. But, we can probably guess. <\/p>\n
I want to thank Mr. Yetman and Mr Burk for making America aware of this crime that Yetman perpetrated – but he’s only one of hundreds, if not thousands. The woman who answered the door at Yetman’s home tried to convince reporters that Yetman has a connection to the military. Yeah, no, probably not.<\/p>\n
Oddly enough, I’m working on a case that is similar, in that the perpetrator is currently wearing a 3rd award of the CIB and he’s also been arrested for impersonating a cop. We’re waiting for his records now. These guys, I don’t understand this thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
