\"Steven<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Someone dropped off a link <\/a>on our Facebook page about this Steven B. Pancoast fellow who was chief investigator for the Oklahoma Veterans Affairs Department. Apparently, he claimed that he had years of experience with law enforcement, that turns out to be true, but from the other side of the gray bars;<\/p>\n

Steven B. Pancoast Jr., 41, was never the state-certified law enforcement officer he pretended to be, authorities allege. His paperwork turned out to be faked.<\/p>\n

Instead, he is an ex-convict who spent almost three years in a New Jersey prison in the 1990s before moving to Oklahoma, they say.<\/p>\n

Friday night, a Canadian County judge authorized a search of Pancoast\u2019s home in Mustang and signed a warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

Pancoast is accused in the arrest warrant of impersonating a police officer, perjury and illegal possession of a firearm after a felony conviction. He turned himself in Saturday morning and was released after posting bail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The discovery, of course, has influenced some local high-profile cases. And, you know, if you’re going to pretend to be a police officer, you might as well pretend to be a military officer, too;<\/p>\n

Pancoast described himself in at least one search warrant affidavit as a former New York City police officer for two years and a former U.S. Army military police officer for six years. However, in a resume he sent to the Veterans Affairs Department in 2010, he wrote only that he \u201cobserved with the New York City Police Department.\u201d He made no reference to the Army in the resume.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I guess he’s probably going to get some more experience in law enforcement that he can add to his resume. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
