On May 9, 2019, Jay Harlan Jeffers, 79, was arrested on charges of impersonating a peace officer, reckless driving, operating a vehicle with front-facing red lights, and displaying blue lights on a non-emergency vehicle.
Law enforcement located and stopped Jeffers after another motorist notified Nevada Highway Patrol dispatch that a man in a white Nissan Frontier pickup was using red and blue emergency lights to move traffic from his path on US-395. Jeffers allegedly used the emergency lights from Washoe Valley south of Bowers Mansion Road all the way into Carson City and into Dayton. [As if you know where those are.]
Jeffers had a police chaplain badge and ID card from the Sparks Police Department in his possession, but had no police authority and no authorization by any agency to have red and blue lighting on his personal vehicle. Jeffers was booked into the Carson City Sheriff’s Office jail.
Jeffers was an active member of the Sparks Police Chaplain Corp, which is almost-certainly spelled “Corps” despite Sparks Police Department’s misspelling to the contrary. The group consists of local clergy of various religions who volunteer their services to the department, providing guidance to members of the department and community during difficult times.
*Was* an active member.
Those days are behind him.

“Hi. I’m corporal Chappy Chaplain. The reason I pulled you over today is to counsel you to do unto other drivers as you would have them do unto you. Amen and have a nice day sir“
Knew Reno had to be involved
Ohh Joe you're confused again 🙁
10:23 he's so proud of his "law enforcement powers" 🙄
He needs to join his own class of psychological first aid
I dont trust anyone in churches. Ive learned very well why child molesters work in churches
I wonder if he had planned to put someone in handcuffs and take them, then do all the dirty deeds
Police Chaplain 🤔
Why the hell does the witness have a binder clip on his arm?
I swear some cops are just so stupid. That guy obviously would never do that again, and yet they're sitting there trying to think of extra charges to give him.
Edit: This is exactly why defense attorneys exist.
I love the way you edit these videos. You put the parts that I would wait to see while I'm watching it, in the beginning. So I don't even need to watch the entire video. Keep it up!
The Lord works in mysterious ways…
That man is having no doubt the WORST day of his life and the cops are standing around talking about food and washing vehicles 🤣🤣 I wonder what was going through his head 😅
Ofc1: "I guess it's glued in there"
Ofc 2: Takes badge and rips it off the velcro…
Ofc2: "No it's not"
Ofc1: "No it's not.."
I have one J3 (man of god) cooperative.
No big deal.
But the church will forgive him…….
Is the blue mat wiped down?
Now it’s “snotâ€
Lights on a Nissan…… And a frontier at that… How does anyone believe that lol
Imagine how much damage you could do if people thought you were a police officer. It should carry a life sentence
Makes me think these police impersonators are mentally ill going to this extent to be a fake cop? Not sure how they’re able to afford this equipment and shit either this guys driving a Cadillac truck and is going to jail for this petty shit
