on January 1st 2023 deputies with the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department pulled over 19-year-old Jackson Jones a Tennessee man in Chaka Oklahoma Jones had reportedly stopped several drivers earlier claiming to be an undercover officer while acting aggressively he was dressed in a black bulletproof vest with a sheriff patch wearing a duty belt equipped with knives a flashlight and handcuffs you have any weapons in the car or anything like that don't going problem the truck over there I I'm just going to take out the vest and I'm from Tennessee so okay why are you wearing the vest like I said I drove from all the way from tenness but I'm not going to I'm not going to have people call me when I don't even live in this damn State it's going to piss me off you're you're a deputy sheriff well I mean I work at the Sheriff's Office okay so I mean what or you a corrections officer for the Sheriff's Office okay why do you wear a vest outside of the facility is this the a vehicle or is this your personal vehicle this is my vehicle okay it's just a little odd cuz whenever I worked in the jail I took my crap off especially if I was taking a long drive from Tennessee if I if I tell you guys the same thing I have been pulled over so many times in Tennessee and Arkansas right okay they know I told them every single time that might be true but it's just a little this I mean like every time I come up here I mean they don't all they say is it's just odd I never see it I was well I mean like well guess what I like wearing it just like in Tennessee I've got pulled up for and guess what yeah I'm not saying it's against the law or anything it's just and I've had it tooken off and I've had it set right here before and they're like and I get I get yelled at before they was like well it's kind of weird that you got your belt and your B you got any kind of employment identification dude they don't give me that when you work at the deal really you don't have like an access card or ID badge or anything for the facility that you work at I don't I can I can show you my face [Music] [Music] though thing on mine I mean well so my only deal is when you wear Finance C County there you go yeah are you commissioned to carry a gun no I'm not you're not okay I don't even have a gun on me well you realize wearing the sheriff on your chest is basically impersonating law enforcement whether or not you're carrying a gun okay but are you commissioned to be carrying a gun and you have arrest power don't what do you mean I don't even have that's beside the fact you're wearing a patch it says Sheriff okay I that's impersonating law enforcement I'm wor it all the time at the jail before though okay well that might be true and fine within the jail but when you come out to public you don't have any arrest Powers you don't you're not commissioned you understand I understand that I didn't understand what's talking and you got alcohol in the vehicle well it's not mine well that's beside the point it's my girlfriend and I don't drink so it doesn't it doesn't matter you realize transporting open container if any of that's opened or partially uh missing that it doesn't matter whose it is if you're in the vehicle with it you can be arrested for uh transporting open container well I mean like I said it's it's it's not I literally it's not she bought it she lives over there and lther have you ever heard the phrase of when guys get hemmed up for drugs in their pockets and they say these pants aren't mine you realize how stupid clear traffic 095 okay so let's let's stop saying it all right I any problem I want to go on my way I'm not from here so all right me there's proof right there but like I I just want to take it off I'll take it off that's fine I'd much rather you just take the sheriff patch off I mean I could do that because if you're if you're not commissioned to be a Sheriff Deputy or a police officer you're sheriff and I understand why you I am a deputy sheriff yes but I'm trying to be nice to you I'm understand why you got called right but if you walk around with a vest carrier on with sheriff on your chest and you're not a sheriff you may work for the sheriff's office but you work in a jail and you're not commissioned outside of the jail to carry a gun or have any arrest Powers okay I understand all right but I told him I'll just take it off because okay I'm not from here I look I got tenness just try I'm not trying to cause any problem okay does your uh command where you work at know that you go around in the public with the vest on with sheriff on your chest you but you wear it anyways well I'm tired and go you wear it to drive all the way from Tennessee to CH Oklahoma oh man Oklahoma City right either way I'm trying to this happen me this and they've let me go they just have toe live up here with my mom so I can be a cop up here because she lives up here and I'm trying to I'm trying I'm trying to be a cop but and you're 19 yeah

City for huh what are you headed to Oklahoma City for I'm going to what are you what are you doing apartment apartment you live there no my mom there oh okay I was just curious I mean I'm I'm not trying to cause any trouble Man I mean like I told him I just I'm just trying to move up here hopefully if I can I ain't got the money right now I'm just trying to come see her for New Year man that's it I I really don't want to did she used to live in Tennessee or did you move out to Tennessee or what what's the deal on that why she liveed here and you live in Tennessee my mom and dad oh okay so you live in Tennessee where your dad lives or whatever okay so did you get out of your car or something here in the parking lot okay I got out of the car there there was a truck that he he looked at me that's all I did I I never I never never said anything like law enforcement wise or nothing I he he looked at me and he was laughing so I just like go to this car and I was like did you e me or something like that that's it and I just like walked away okay I mean I don't that's all I did man I'm being so you were just in the driveway and he was just looking at you I got of my car I going to go inside he looked at me and then I just went up I just I was like he just said I was just looking at you man car that was it you can watch the video of McDonald's I'm not sure I call that's all right and you don't have a gun with you or anything like that you can search I can search the car I mean is that what you said you asked me if I had a gun on me I don't have a gun on I was just asking if you had a gun on you you said something about I can search the car you don't mind if I search the car I don't care search the car okay cool step on out if you don't mind drop your cord there all right face the vehicle I'll just check you for make sure you don't have any guns or nothing okay you wouldn't that's fine if you wouldn't mind go ahead and take the best off and just set it in the car so do you wear this vest carrier on duty no in the jail I mean like I can I usually wear it under my shirt okay what vehicle was it that you stopped and talk to I didn't stop that in no I mean you said that you stopped and talk was some it was some truck but then he left out of the parking okay but all I did literally I went up let's go get the best off for me and the only reason I'm having you take it off is so I don't have to worry about the knives or anything you may have on you really that's fine I mean I've seen a lot worse all right if you'll just go sit on the uh curb up there yeah that's fine like I said I'm not trying to have no problem okay we'll just check everything out if everything's good then we'll we'll go on [Music] [Music] why don't we go have a seat in my Tahoe huh I

somebody pays me all the way from Tennessee we're all the way they'll have to get with the bondsman here make a payment to the bondsman and then the bonds oh okay so they just got all right how's it going better every day all right all righty if you will put all your information on there uhuh and then when you start talking about the traffic stop where he stopped you and stuff like that put real good information in there like the exact location where he made contact with you where he where you initially seen him and everything and I want to confirm right now that everything happened in Oklahoma County right no yeah yeah yeah west of he was in Lincoln County okay when when you first seen him he was in Lincoln County and then he followed you into Hera yes and made made contact with you in Hera yes but where he made contact with you and he stated he was law enforcement was in at Sonic at Sonic in cuz he pulled up right behind me and I was like what the heck is he pulling me over for and usually clicks my head that first thing you ever get pulled over first thing asked you pass your driver license first thing ever yeah and we didn't tell me that I was like yeah and then he told me his partner was a uh uh Wellston uh he's out of Wellston and his uh partner is a high Patrol I was like all right yeah put all that in there and even put on there when you seen him turn around and flashing his headlights at somebody all right said he said that he had two guns and handcuff and everything yeah yeah I I haven't found any guns yet but I haven't done like a thorough search of his car yet cuz he had a gun on his side he did have a gun on his side oh yeah you seen it yeah in a holster yeah okay and he had handcuffs yeah yeah I mean just like just like he had only he didn't have was a body Cam and then right here on this chest right here it just said sherff on that was I got pictures of that yeah uh so when we make contact with him he doesn't have a firearm on him but that doesn't mean it's not in the car and then uh he told me he had let me go CU he got a call that's why he let me go out ofic cuz he goes well CU and then he flipped the UI on someone and was flashing their light and when I right passed over the uh Interstate the uh right when we pass underneath it he F the UI and was going back towards you know the Going Back East yeah and start passing SL at that car I was like that's just odd and then I got home I just got home because we're coming back to autoone and get some parts for our car and then uh I told my wife I was like man it's kind of strange my car was sitting in a driveway and I wish you would have called it in way earlier but I'm glad we got him though and then I was thinking you know I was thinking thinking if these Oklahoma County they don't cross over into Lincoln County and Lincoln County does not cross over to oklah C we might go over there to help them with something ex but one of them is going to be there with us exactly cuz y'all don't station by yourself p on over in Lincoln County if you're oom right and that's what cut and then uh my wife's like you better call somebody and see what's going on cuz that's just very very very strange that car was me flash yeah and the weird thing he didn't flash his lights at me nothing he just got right on my right on my bumper man and it just sped me in town and I was like that's kind of weird I'm going to go pull Sonic to see if he's going to pull in with me right when he pulled in he coed his car right in behind mine where I block in blocking you in yeah I was like that's kind of odd right right okay good I'm glad you came over here and told us cuz that sealed the deal cuz we were going to let him go all right and then when you're done sign the bottom all right all right thanks Witnesses provided written statements and Jones was arrested and booked for impersonating a police officer transporting an open container and transported to the Oklahoma County Detention Center you'll be at the Oklahoma County Detention Center is that that it's our detention center it's our jail is pretty good size yeah yeah a lot of people that go to prison say it's the worst place to be yeah it's not a good place me I work jail but it was County but it was small yeah our our County Jail sucks it was small oh this this one's big a lot of people in it six I had six cells six like six like we have uh we have 200 cells on the floor and we've got 13 floors so I have by myself probably not all right so it's different from mine but not work CU it was like was like a different it's a one door and you walk in everybody's in the day room and then you got we got slider doors that go into a big day room and there's cells that line the wall all the way around and that's just one pod and there's four pods on each floor and there's 13 floors I just don't I'm not I don't want to get in no trouble but see well it's it's a serious deal when you're impersonating police officer so well I know like I don't know how long it is I mean first I mean since I don't have any Criminal yeah it'll be up to the judge to decide that all right
