Irony is delicious.

RIESEL, Texas (KWTX) Less than a week into the new school year in Riesel, Texas Rangers Tuesday arrested the small district's new campus police chief on a warrant charging impersonation of a public servant.

Jeffrey Reid McNair was in the McLennan County Jail late Tuesday morning.

His bond had not yet been set.

Riesel Superintendent Brandon Cope confirmed that a district employee had been arrested, but declined further comment.

The district hired McNair this summer as director of school safety and was working with the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to arrange licensing.

So, he was impersonating a cop of a department that doesn't exist?

I wonder what agency the badge was from.

It isn't illegal to wear a uniform and direct traffic for your employer.
It isn't illegal to carry a gun or taser while doing it.

Sound to me like Chief Danny Krumnow is upset the ISD is getting its own cops.

I like that website, bit very often their reporters (or is it ALL reporters) are very vague in their articles.

I wonder what agency the badge was from.

It could be that he was wearing the proper uniform but displaying a Chief's badge.

If he didn't possess TCOLE certification as a "chief", that might be why he was nailed.

However, he was hired as chief.

The article isn't written well enough for me to say.

If its just about licensing, I suspect he'll prevail in court.

Sound to me like Chief Danny Krumnow is upset the ISD is getting its own cops.

Jealousy can make people do vengeful, evil, hurtful, vile deeds.

Why does it seem all the weird stuff is happening in Texas lately? Is it because of all the Californians moving there?

Impersonating a peace officer is a distinct charge in Texas from impersonating a public servant.

Yes, that is my suspicion.

Everyone in Cali is odd with the exceptions of my eldest daughter and her fiancé.

Neither Texas or California has anything on Florida. They have Florida Man.
