The Angelina County Sheriff's Office is charging an Alto man
in connection to allegations that he posed as a law-enforcement officer in
order to locate his sister on July 30.
Regan Wesley Pillows, 18, is charged with third-degree
impersonating a peace officer.
According to an arrest affidavit, an investigator with the
sheriff's office learned that Pillows had approached a woman at her residence
on White Oak Loop and said he was a criminal investigator for Lufkin Police and
he wanted to look in her residence. She said he was wearing a shoulder holster
with no gun, but did have a hip holster with a black pistol.
Pillows also did the same at two addresses on FM 326,
according to the report.
The sheriff's office contacted LPD and told them about the
suspect vehicle and an officer found him at IHOP and said he was still wearing
his shoulder holster and a five-star badge that could have been perceived as a
badge. The officers said Pillows told him he was working for the sheriff's
office as an undercover investigator on the missing person team. The officer
said Pillows said he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he was trying to
locate his sister.
The investigator obtained a warrant for Pillows arrest on
July 31 and he was booked into the Angelina County Jail on Aug. 2. He posted a
$5,000 bond on Aug. 3.
