Probation has been revoked for a youth pastor for impersonating a peace officer. AL.com reports the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion the same day Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies obtained a warrent against 30-year-old Matt Pitt.
Pitt reportedly founded The Basement youth service in 2004 and in Sept. 2012 pleaded guilty to attempting to impersonate a peace officer. According to the website, Pitt received a suspended 12-month sentence and was placed on two years of unsupervised probation for that incident.
AL.com reports that officials in the two counties are now looking for Pitt after a June 15 incident in which Jefferson County authorities were called to investigate a report of a man impersonating a law enforcement officer.
A 911 caller had reportedly seen a suspicious vehicle with people going back and forth between the vehicle and a nearby wooded area. Authorities tell the website that the caller went to investigate and discovered a rifle hidden at the edge of the woods. While waiting for law enforcement to arrive, two ATVs reportedly drove up, Pitt recovered the rifle and identified himself as a law enforcement officer.
According to AL.com, a warrant was obtained for Pitt’s arrest on Aug. 14. In 2012, Pitt was charged with a felony after Calera police said he was flashing blue lights to pull over cars on Interstate 65. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor.
