Officer Santa Claus is Ben Ward

by Greg Miler - Investigative Reporter

PARKERSBURG, WV. The Parkersburg police officer who improperly identified himself as "Santa Claus" is Officer Ben Ward badge #50. The officer is accused of conducting an illegal search of Mr. Libert's home and not having probable cause, consent to search or a search warrant issued by a judge. Furthermore, a PCC investigation into the incident also indicated the officer had no other circumstance that would give a police officer authority under the law to enter and search Mr Libert's home.

What makes the incident more aggravating is the fact the officer improperly identified himself nor gave a justifiable reason for his actions. The Parkersburg Police Department refused to provide Mr Libert any relief in this matter thus resulting in a court order to provide information about the identity of Officer Santa Claus. So far the lawsuit seems to be progressing in favor of Mr Libert.

With further investigating by the Police Complaint Center, Mr Libert should have restitution and closure in this matter. The following documents will provide evidence about the Santa Claus incident.

  1. Notice how Ward in his report forgets to mention that the security camera was placed inside the persons' house and was 100% legal and approved! Ward could have easily seen the camera by walking along the fence and peering into the homeowners window without entering the mans house! Ward used intimidation to enter the house,that was the official finding of the Police Complaint Center complaint conducted in 2009. Ward is a liar! He is caught but used his sovereign police immunity and the fact that he will lie under oath to escape any negative consequences. And by the way Ward did you ever return the videos from Dave's Video that were on your record as stated,or did your cop badge get you out of that too! Why were you so afraid of the Police complaint Centers' Investigator Greg Miller that you "pussed out". every time he tried to interview you-if you had nothing to hide you needn't have avoided Mr. miller-but the fact is and well you know-you did have lots to hide!
