My client Shawn Warner, was on his way to his job as a professional driver in the oilfield industry, driving through Doddridge County, West Virginia, when a guy in a black Audi SUV pulled up beside him and attempted to pull him over for speeding. No marked police car; no blue lights; no uniform. Unsure if this was a real police officer, or a mentally unstable guy with a fake badge, he didn’t pull over.
Instead, he sped up, and headed for his workplace, where there would be coworkers to help him – or at least witness what was happening. They reached speeds of at least 90 mph. After pulling in, a dozen or so oilfield workers witnessed the guy in the black Audi jump out of his car and order Shawn out at gunpoint….. They gathered around and began to video….
A picture of the guy’s business card is in the video. As it turns out, he’s not a real police officer, but rather a corrections official/ parole officer employed by the West Virginia Division of Corrections, out of Parkersburg, WV.
Update: the case settled.

There's no way that this correctional officer is going to be able to keep his job or keep any Qualified Immunity
That woman in the Audi with him , I hope she never had anything to do with dumbass again
I see the case settled… How is this parole officer not charged with a crime?
What happened with this shit bag!
Would like to see an update on this. Who was this idiot? Was he fired?
Dude!!! How did he not get introuble? He’s lucky someone didn’t feel he threatened by his stupidity and put him down. There is soo much wrong here.
Can you update us on what happened please? I can’t find anything that tells me more about the aftermath
I used to work for West Virginia DOC They are NOT police officers.
This was 2 years ago? Is there any update available?
What the hell is wrong with the Yahoo s up in WV don't go to Grafton or Taylor Co they're tyrant
Any update on this?
I'm just wondering why the co-workers are putting film on everything 2:20. With nearly everything digital these days, the verbal use of "film" is archaic, certainly for those in the media who actually pay attention in journalism class, albeit small. The simple use of video(ing), recording, etc is much better. (Film is something that has to actually be developed in order to then see what was recorded on it. Basically, nothing motion-based is film unless it's from a Panavision movie camera.)
Name and badge number please.
Oh, you’re not a police officer?
Fk off.
So what happened to the rent a cop?
id have called the cops while he was chasing me and had them meet me at the oil field.
Darn fool is just trying to impress his girlfriend.
The description says "case settled" but what was the outcome? Did your guy get compensation and/or was thiscasshole fired?
Ooooh geeees what's the world coming to
ARE YOU SERIOUS ?
