Parkersburg Police Department Under Investigation

by Greg Miller - Investigative Reporter

PARKERSBURG, WV - This is an ongoing PoliceAbuse.com investigation involving a Parkersburg police officer who identified himself as “Officer Santa Clause”. Doug Libert filed a federal lawsuit claiming an illegal search occurred at his residence when Officer Santa Clause entered into Libert’s home without probable cause, search warrant or consent of Libert.

The Parkersburg Police Department has been guilty of not complying with a court order requiring the true identity of Officer Santa Clause to be revealed. Furthermore, the Parkersburg Police Department is also guilty of obstructing an investigation by failing to comply with the West Virginia State laws that require the department to release public documents relating to important government activities. The police department refuses to give up facts about the department’s personnel; especially, the name and rank of police officers who are employed with the department.

In the end, Libert wishes the true identity of the officer to be know and that the police department takes corrective action to help better it’s professional standards.
