Prison Guard Makes a Traffic Stop at Gunpoint in West Virginia



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.

  1. 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

  2. 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.)
