He fought the law and the law lost: Don't call Steve Shifflett a cop impersonator
Steve Shifflett has been on both sides of the law. As a deputy for nearly three decades, he lived his boyhood dream of a career in law enforcement, only to have it derailed by what he claims is a police vendetta against him that continues to this day. Those who've been on the receiving end of his million-dollar lawsuits might see things differently.
Has Shifflett been unfairly targeted, or has he– as many officers have alleged– actually done something wrong?
This spring, he's in court as a defendant, and the first thing he tells the judge is, "I am not the Steve Shiflett who claimed he was shot." He's referring to former Albemarle deputy Stephen R. Shiflett who in 2003 reported– falsely, it turned out–- that he'd been shot by a mysterious African American man.
