Man Charged With Impersonating A Police Officer
July 3, 2018
The Pensacola Police Department has arrested a man for impersonating a police officer.
Stephen Williams, 39, was charged for the incident after he contacted people in the area of the Pensacola Village apartments in recent days indicating that he was a detective with the Pensacola Police Department, the agency said. He told the residents that he was investigating a missing persons case.
Pensacola Police said he has never been an employee of the department.
Williams was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,000 bond.

Did he ever present false credentials or a badge, swing a gun around? Seems to me he was straight up about his intent there. If the residents believed him…so be it! Proactive citizens standing up to crime, who woulda thunk.
This guy is a bit off. He’s got complaints on LEO web forums that go back 4-5 years. Most of them involve him telling people he works as a police officer or deputy. One person mentioned that he was telling the workers at pet smart that he was a K9 deputy with santa Rosa county SO. He’s also know to drive around in a police type vehicle and look like he’s monitoring traffic and he’s been seen with handcuffs. The police don’t need a person like this running loose and getting involved with active cases.
This is the worst threat to society. I hope they throw the book at him.
Wonder if he was asked who was the missing person? All the drugs around these days what would make a person pretend he was a cop just to look for a missing person???
I’ve had a few conversations with this dude. You talk to him and he comes across as being part of law enforcement. Search and Rescue maybe. I know he trains K9 dogs in Milton, but he’s always involved in “missing persons”. That’s great that someone has taken that step forward to find a missing person, but you don’t abuse the situation by being someone you’re not. He got caught this time. I’ve read his comments on the Facebook page – Milton K9 Academy about missing people. Some of his posts come across as putting people in the gutter. He’s not a Judge. Hopefully Stevie will do his job training dogs and put his mind and nose where they belong.
Just saying: You can never be something that you’re not. Stay in your lane and do your job.
