On September 7, 2019 Jeremy Charles Dewitte was arrested by officers of the Windermere Police Department on charges of resisting arrest without violence, impersonating a police officer, and reckless driving. Dewitte wasn’t thrilled, and he believed that one of the arresting officers had a personal vendetta against him due to a complaint Dewitte had filed about that officer at his previous agency.
Six days after his arrest, Dewitte, accompanied by his attorney Amir Ladan, entered the office of Windermere Police Detective John Allen. He was there to file a complaint. Under oath.
Part of Detective Allen’s job is to assess a complainant’s credibility, and to that end he questioned Dewitte about his history of police impersonation arrests and accusations. Understandably, Dewitte played down his extensive record, but far less understandable is what happened next. Dewitte rewrote history under oath. His arrest (and conviction) in 1998 for impersonating a police officer? He never told anyone that he was a cop! It all stemmed from an innocent mistake involving a credit card that his mom got him right after his 18th birthday! He had pumped $13.40 of gas, and he went back the next day and paid for it!
When I first heard that recording I couldn’t believe my ears. I am very familiar with the details of Dewitte’s first arrest. I have read all of the court records from the case many times and I transcribed, word-for-word, the (originally handwritten) five-page arrest affidavit so I could include it in a public post on Patreon. Dewitte’s version? The innocent mistake version? Contradicted by the reality version.
Dewitte: “In fact, I [had] just turned 18 for like, a week.”
Reality: His birthday is February 10th and the incident occurred on May 18th. (It wasn’t reported to the police until June 11th, and Dewitte wasn’t arrested until June 25th.)
Dewitte: ‘My mom got me a credit card for my 18th birthday and I didn’t know that it needed to be activated.’
Reality: There hadn’t ever been a credit card. Dewitte attempted to pay using a prepaid Mobil “Go” gas card.
Dewitte: “I never told her that I was a police officer”
Reality: The clerk – who has no reason to lie about this – was very clear that Dewitte had claimed to be a police officer. He even told her work stories. (Dewitte had also told the gas station owner that he was a police officer, by phone.)
Even minor details, like the dollar amount of the gas he had pumped, were not real.
Dewitte: $13.40, stated with supreme confidence in the recording.
Reality: $14.50
And the last part, which may also be the most important part, perhaps second only to the personation issue: Dewitte’s claim that he had gone back the next day and paid for the gas? Well, back in 1998 Jeremy Dewitte wrote a sworn affidavit addressing that very issue:
“…In his statement, Defendant admitted that he did not pay for the gasoline, and has not paid since the date of the incident.”
You can’t make this up.

Also in that folder is Dewitte’s Chicago arrest information. Because – hey – guess what? Turns out he was arrested in Chicago after all. (Or so says the Chicago Police Department.)
[Last but not least, a correction: On-screen text in this video asserts that Florida police academy applicants must be at least 19 years old. I had been provided that information from a source I trusted and I regrettably did not verify it prior to including it in this video. By law the age requirement only kicks in upon graduation, prior to employment in a sworn capacity. That said, I have since contacted *every* accredited law enforcement training center in Orange county and all but one stated that they require their applicants to be 19. In the unlikely event that Mr. Dewitte can prove that he had been accepted to a 770-hour basic law enforcement training academy in 1998 [not an “Explorer Academy,” “Citizen’s Police Academy,” or “Teen Police Academy”] he is welcome to email verifiable evidence to corrections@realworldpolice.com. If that happens and his proof checks out, I will publish a prominent correction. I wouldn’t hold your breath.]

OK so let's do an honest recap on Jeremy's life… So he REALLY wants to be a cop but he can't stay out of trouble to include being a sex offender. So he becomes a funeral escort because the uniform makes you look like a cop body cam and bullet proof vest and all… and he plays pretend. I think that about covers it..
He reminds Me of Officer Doofy. They should standard issue Powerwheel Police Cars for those Guys.
I hope no one ever gives this guy any real power as he is seriously over compensating for lack of control in his life.
Somebody get that guy some psychiatric help he's going to kill someone
Terrible video if I wanted to read all that crap I'd buy a book
Look I’ve watched all of his videos not one fucking time has he ever said he was a police officer not once in video. Honestly leave him alone. He probably sued the county he was in and won. I’ve watched this happen to people that win lawsuits against police departments. Weird say what you want leave the guy alone until he literally is actually imitating a law enforcement officer. He says he’s a funeral escort. Grow up all of you.
He would have made a terrible officer. Power trip over 9000.
This guy is the dumb ass that just keeps on 'giving'.
He doesn't have to worry about anyone else running him out of business, he's doing that all himself. Going to be in prison very soon at this rate.
I wonder if he's going to tell all his new friends in jail 'he's a cop'. Lol
Mental Health is real
This guys is not very likeable his attitude sucks lies like a 4th grade kid and has no shame on it. I dont even how he looks in the mirror dressed as a wanna be cop and dont be ashamed of himself.
9:52 Sir that is not a dump truck, and he is driving. The legal way.
All this proves is some guy speaking that sounds like him except towards the end and although he is a little aggressive you gotta think there are tons of gangs and cartels trying to kidnap bodies in funerals and this type of enforcement is needed to ensure it doesn't happen.
I love a good Jeremy dewitte road rage , speeding , banging on hoods , cussing ppl out while screaming “motor one†montage
Jeremy would have Ben a scary cop. He don’t even get it after arrest. ?????????!!!!!!!!. One guy said . A real life buzz light year. . In person. ! Lol I’m still laughing.
This guy's a freaking youtube legend 🤣
NoWitt DeWitt is a serious danger to anyone near him while driving. He's A DAMN LUNATIC ‼ï¸ðŸ¤®ðŸ€
He just likes to lie and do whatever he wants. when confronted acts like hes right,when proven wrong he plays dumb and acts like a child.
When catches up to the truck driver and demands that they drive faster 🤦ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸ how can you be this dumb?
To me this kind of crazy is way scarier than a homeless guy screaming nonsense in the streets. He sounds as if he believes his own lies
State gasoline card, was this a rationing thing or was it like, what police are given to pay for gas, or what?
He probably got mad when someone realized he isn't a cop
Wait till he gets to the pearly gates. They won’t believe him.
Karma sux Jeremy
seargent seargent
can anyone actually read these banners in the time they show up then if you pause it the control bar blocks them talk about poor quality video
The arrested development in this guy is phenomenal ðŸ¼ðŸ£
i wish you would get the ghosted letters off of all your videos so we can watch them
this wacko is a menace to society
Jeremy just stop whining. You are such an annoying human being with your constant lying and denying. Yet you sound so tough when you are pretending to be a cop. Just shut up already and go away with some dignity.
This guy rules!
Can't the city just revoke his sanction?
I googled "clown", this dude's pic was all I found
I hope the raving idiot likes prison… and no business after jail Jeremy… or should that be Walter…. Walter Mitte… lol… too much, to far……
Genuine question. Why do funerals need fast escorts and road blocks etc? I'm not from America but where I come from funerals are kind of quiet slow solemn and respectful processions. Even if it's a high profile famous person there may be a police escort but it's still fairly slow and peaceful. Are these funerals the norm or special for a reason? I know the bloke in this is a fake weirdo but I just wondered about the funerals.
What a fruit loop this guy is.
This is insaneee to me that they have this video along with witnesses I'm sure and yet this guy gets out but w drug possession you'll be in for a year
Even his own lawyer shuts him up lol
Whoever runs this account must REALLY hate this dude. Like, dude banged your sister type of hate
I told that dump truck to just keep driving to drive and he kept driving so I told him to drive some more ðŸ˜
God damn I thought he was in the parking lot and just threw a chair then I find out he throws a chair off the sixth floor and not only that he threw two or three chairs off the sixth floor it gets f**** better and better I love it I need MORE!!!
That incident in Chicago he would have totally been off and the police would have let him go I cannot believe his personality still got the best of him and he was still not admitting guilt and almost acting like a victim himself and expecting the tow truck driver to apologize as well f**** idiot
He only turned 18 for a week
I love how he blows past the dump truck telling it to speed through a school crossing. Omg this guy wowwwww
