first up we head to orlando florida
the defendant is 39 year old jeremy
dewitt
he's been charged with impersonating a
police officer
dewitt runs a company that provides
private security escorts during funeral
processions
i'll get the light before the bridge you
get the light after the bridge
it's a legitimate business that dewitt
is authorized to operate
get to me gets me get to me what he's
not authorized to do
is direct traffic
go past me go past me repo take this
interjection and keep this
under control weave through traffic at
illegal speeds
let's get 110 down this road or
most notably pull over
hey pull over pull over and confront
drivers
while dressed somewhat like a real
officer what are you doing
what the does it look like i'm
doing dumb get the over before you
find out stop pretending your police
officer
listen i know what i'm allowed to do and
what i'm not allowed to do what you need
to do
is figure it the out before you
start talking
with such blatant behavior the local
media gets wind of what dewitt is up to
before long he appears on the radar of
the real police
and in 2019 after police observed him
breaking traffic laws
he's arrested while working a funeral
who is this guy
oh that's jeremy right there when
officers question dewitt about the
registration of his motorcycle
which comes up as stolen he becomes
livid
sergeant my vehicle's not stolen
sergeant
i can tell you right now everything's
being videotaped on my body cam sergeant
okay
i have the registration
officers search to it and find an
arsenal of police gear including
handcuffs mace and a baton because the
honda was stolen
and we got the tag back from the orange
county sheriff's office
and then we registered it to that
motorcycle
but as dewitt loudly attempts to explain
the situation
officers have had enough you just chill
if it's an issue we'll figure it out but
you screaming and yelling isn't going to
change
that well just sit tight okay
dewitt's charged with impersonating an
officer and released on bond
but while out on bond police get a
warrant for dewitt's own body camera
and find a wealth of incriminating
footage including
more pullovers
and additional confrontations with
drivers dewitt considers
interfering in his escorting a funeral
procession
hi how are you today
i'm good how are you you must have
missed that it's 45 through there and
then you use the turning lane to cut
through traffic
i understand you're in a nice car and
everything but let's be a little more
mature
the way you drive let's drive the right
way though don't worry about what i
am because i'm a state agent so what you
need to do is make sure you're doing the
right thing
boy
the driver pulls away
but it doesn't take too long for dewitt
to catch up
yeah that's really nice yeah i know the
way you almost hit me
boy is the way it's professional
ass you're not a cop
you want to fight
dewitt's arrested again and brought
before the judge
with two more charges of impersonating
an officer
you were arrested pursuant to a probable
cause warrant for falsely
impersonating an officer once again is
released on bond
turns out dewitt has quite a history of
playing cop he was convicted
of the same charge back in 2001
but dewitt can't seem to stay out of
trouble and after
multiple arrests for impersonating an
officer he's back in court again
your name sir i'm sorry jeremy charles
dwight your honor
this time he's not here for being a fake
police officer
but for failing to register a vehicle as
a very
real sex offender in 2005 dewitt was
convicted of lewd or lascivious battery
involving a victim
between 12 and 15 years old mr dwight
you're here today because you're
arrested on
an arrest warrant for a sex offender
violation failing to register as
required you're also out on bond on
five charges of falsely impersonating an
officer
the state is requesting his bonds be
revoked on his prior cases giving the
new
law violation continued pattern of
criminal activity
and he also poses a flight risk the
prosecution
again asks that his bond be revoked
but once again dewitt catches a break no
i'm going to leave the bonds in place
as for his remaining impersonation
charges until his trial begins
wit remains free on behalf thanks for
