Jeremy Dewitte’s Dr. Phil appearance
This, despite all outward appearances, is not a cop. It’s Jeremy Dewitte.
Chronic police poser Jeremy Dewitte’s (who we last touched base with last week) appearance on Dr Phil is now ready to be streamed, in small chunks. ChipNASA sends in the links. Unfortunately, it’s in 12 parts instead of one or two, but our tech budget around here consists of a packet of saltines and a nose hair trimmer with a dead battery. We work with what we have.
Finally, the lie detector results! Dr. Phil tried to talk the man out of it, but he insisted. The only surprise in the result is that he doesn’t even believe his own lies.
It’s really unethical for his lawer to not only allow him to go on national television to parade his crimes but to sit next to him while doing so. My ninjas have told me that the raw video from the show has been subpoenaed. You could play the intro test Dr. Phil conducted as part of your opening arguments.

I wonder if the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) was in the Green Room?
We also need “Turd” Bolling of Ambassador Worldwide Protection Agency (both National and International) to opine on this interview.
I think Phil should hire this guy. Peas in a pod – that sort of thing.
Jeremy DeWitte is definitely All Points Logistics material.
Employee of the Year material, no less.
He has that Phildoesque “it” factor.
Has anyone checked to see if Metro State has a door on their mailbox? Inquiring minds want to know.
It’s the George Costanza rule:
It’s not technically a “lie” if YOU believe it. 😉
As with many of our military posers, some of these guys have convinced themselves that their BS stories are true.
As a side note, it’s not unethical for a lawyer to allow someone to screw himself in public. The lawyer’s duty is to advise his client, but the lawyer can’t PREVENT his client from doing anything.
Assuming this lawyer isn’t a complete dumbass, he likely covered his ass by recommending that his client not go on the show, and did it in writing. That way if DeWitte DOES try to file a complaint against him with the state bar, he can pull out that letter as his “get out of jail free” card and say “I warned the idiot, but he didn’t listen to me.”
He had to go with this guy, since for some reason he has not been able to contact his regular attorney, Daniel Bernath.
Did he go cheap on counsel?
One of the most expensive things you can ever buy is a cheap lawer.
Hence Lori Benton.
Don’t think so – I’m pretty sure his lawyer’s/”legal advisor’s” last name wasn’t anyone we all might recognize. (smile)
The primary reason his lawer appeared on the show with him is for the free publicity. The fellow likely wants to be the go to lawer for POSers.
So my question for the group is this: When you see the video of DeWitte in front of his “funeral escort” company, I see a large building and a LOT of vehicles. Like 20 – 30 vehicles, motorcycles, etc.
That stuff isn’t cheap. Each one of those vehicles, equipped as they are, are likely over $50k. Even the motorcycles are likely $20k or more (I’ve owned a BMW bike. “Cheap” they AREN’T.)
So where is all the money coming from to support this company?
Yes, I get it, it’s Florida where people go to die, but holy crap, is there that much “funeral escort” business that it can support a big organization like this?
And who pays for this, does the funeral home pay for it and charge it to the family of the deceased as part of the “funeral package?”
It can be part of the funeral costs or families can contract Metro State out themselves.
As for the vehicles, it appears he is getting them at police auctions.
But Metro State has provided other “escort” and “security” services and that is part of the case against DeWitte and the company. He was even hired to appear with the WWE in a storyline where a wrestler was injured and needed to be removed from the arena via an ambulance.
The real question that has to be answered is why are Osceola and Orange counties spending this much time and resources on DeWitte and his company?
There is enough evidence from Dewitte himself to simply go to the State licensing board and have his business license pulled.
Dewitte is obviously a sick person that needs professional help.
It’s really unethical for his lawer to not only allow him to go on national television to parade his crimes but to sit next to him while doing so.
Can you cite a Florida Bar regulation that supports this statement?
The whole Dr. Phil show was a disaster for Dewitte (because of the polygraph) and arguably for Dr. Phil. No difficult questions were asked and basically nothing to do with the case(s) was discussed.
“James,” who is known as “Blue Bacon” online has said that he signed agreements that limited what he could talk about on the show.
Dewitte went on there to apparently try and counter the videos being released under Florida’s Sunshine Law (FS 119) by sites like Blue Bacon and Real World Police.
Dewitte himself has started to release videos attacking anyone who says anything about him while trying to portray himself as reincarnated Jesus Christ who is being wrongly persecuted and prosecuted.

The Dr. Phil show was more about narratives rather than the truth or bringing information to light.
Then again, that is what “reality” television is these days – all fluff and no meat.
There is no such bar regulation. In a lawyer-client relationship, the client is the boss, not the lawyer. The lawyer can’t “make” his client do anything, nor can he prevent his client from doing anything.
The only thing the lawyer can do is advise the client of the possible bad outcomes of what the client wants to do, but it’s ultimately the client’s choice, not the lawyers.
If the lawyer truly believes that the client is going to do something terribly stupid, the lawyer can, of course, refuse to go along with it and can even terminate the lawyer-client relationship.
EXCEPT – that once a lawyer has “entered an appearance” on behalf of a client, that lawyer is usually prohibited from withdrawing without the permission of the court.
COULD the lawyer have refused to go onto the show with his client? Certainly he could have, he’s under no obligation to go along with his client’s idiotic and vain shenanigans.
ut then again, if he knows his client is going on national TV, it could be argued that he does have a duty to try his best to mitigate the damage such an appearance would cause.
I suspect the convo between lawyer and client went something like this:
Lawyer: Jeremy, I would strongly advise you to NOT go on this show because anything you say there can and will be used against you in any future proceedings. My strong advice is to STFU until this case is over.
DeWitte: Well, I’m going, will you go with me?
Lawyer: Sure, as long as you cover the expenses and understand that I’m “on the clock” [cuz lawyer’s got to eat too, right?]
There is no such bar regulation.
Agreed, which is why I was politely questioning Mason’s statement that it was. 🙂
I suspect the convo between lawyer and client went something like this:
The shorter version would be “when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.”
But that is not Dewitte’s way.
gitarcarver,
Holy Crap.
NEW video, 4 hours ago (5pm today (Friday 2/26)).
The opening titles run 1:30 long, so you know.
Drama, drama.
And the YouTube comments…!
IMHO, he’s going down in court.
Holy Crap again.
(Do not waste 37 minutes, but it’s here.)
Dewitte’s point by point critique of the Dr. Phil show.
A little bit of Google digging here,
this Dr. Phil episode was taped 3 MONTHS ago.
November 2020. A whole production. Hotel(s). Masks.
Shipping the prince purple rain motorcycle
from Florida to Dr. Phil’s backyard in California.
So, Dewitte had 3 MONTHS to figure out what to do about Dr. Phil.
But yesterday, it’s the SAME THING.
Dewitte learned NOTHING.
Sentencing will be an interesting day.
Hopefully, soon.
Special Forces and US Army flags in the background (next to his own creation for his company) are a nice touch.
I did the combat jump with him into FallUJA.
sarc
He was in my SFOC class. He was such a bad ass he volunteered to sit next to the Turkish Army officers in the classroom.
He was the best!
Since I’m a law geek I decided to look up the statute in question. No doubt there are various traffic citations, failure to appear, etc, but I was mostly interested in the “criminal impersonation” statutes in FL. Looks like the relevant statutes are 843.08 (false personation) and “Unlawful use of badges or other indicia of authority”, 843.085 843.08 is a felony while 843.085 is a 1st degree misdemeanor. Unfortunately, 843.08 is very narrowly written. You can look it up but as near as I can tell in order to be convicted of 843.08 a person has to actually impersonate an officer from a SPECIFIC agency. Furthermore, in order for a conviction under 843.08, the person has to not only impersonate an officer of a specific agency, they ALSO have to act as a member of that agency by commanding another person to aid or assist them in some manner. Since DeWitte is only representing himself as a part of “Metro State” and not a specific agency, that provides “wiggle room” for him to say he’s not guilty of violating 843.08 (even though by “clearing traffic” or demanding that people yield to his lights, he is obviously violating the 2nd part of the statute, a conviction requires BOTH that he impersonated a member of a specific agency AND that he acted as a member of such agency. I’m guessing this gap in the law is why DeWitte has been able to get away with his dangerous and stupid behavior for this long, because he’s skirting around the edge of the law. If the Florida legislature wants to have teeth in this law, they need to expand the definition of “criminal personation” to include someone who dresses and acts in such a way as to lead a ‘reasonable person’ to conclude that the person so acting is a certified law enforcement officer. That would prevent people like DeWitte from saying “hey, I didn’t SAY I was a cop, I just dressed in a cop-like uniform and acted like a cop and if someone thought I was a cop, that’s on them, not… Read more »
Just for my clarification – in the videos, he keeps on mentioning that Metro-State is a “state certified” agency. Could that also be seen as “wiggle room” or could the DA’s Office be using that as their reason to charge him under 843.08?
As Inigo Montoya might say, “I do not think those words mean what he wants you to think they mean”.
There is going to be some “wiggle room” in his two-hole after his rectum gets resized down in Cell Block Foxtrot.
Jeremy HAS, in the past identified himself as a member of an agency. You don’t have to dress in an identifiable uniform. He has badged people and stated he was an officer/deputy of an agency and demanded they do something he tells them to do. All the victim has to articulate is that they BELIEVED, AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, that they were being commanded to do an act by a duly appointed officer of the law.
Surprised someone has not popped this clown in the face yet.
Yeah, especially with a .45 Speer Gold Dot.
Continuing my thoughs from above: The misdemeanor statute 843.085 is actually written better, IMO. It prohibits the use of badges or other “indicia of authority”: ———- (2) It is unlawful for a person to own or operate a motor vehicle marked or identified in any manner or combination by the word or words “police,” “patrolman,” “patrolwoman,” “sheriff,” “deputy,” “trooper,” “highway patrol,” “commission officer,” “Wildlife Officer,” “Department of Environmental Protection officer,” “Marine Patrol Officer,” “marshal,” “constable,” “bailiff,” or “fire department,” or by any lettering, marking, or insignia, or colorable imitation thereof, including, but not limited to, stars, badges, or shields, officially used to identify the vehicle as a federal, state, county, or municipal law enforcement vehicle or a vehicle used by a criminal justice agency as defined in s. 943.045, or a vehicle used by a fire department with the intent to mislead or cause another person to believe that such vehicle is an official vehicle of that agency and is authorized to be used by that agency, unless such vehicle is owned or operated by the appropriate agency and its use is authorized by such agency, or the local law enforcement agency or fire department authorizes the use of such vehicle, or the person is appointed by the Governor pursuant to chapter 354. ——– Unlike 843.08 which requires for conviction that someone impersonate a member of an actual law enforcement entity, this one broadens the language a little bit to allow conviction if someone uses specific words (Sheriff, Police, Highway Patrol) but also says “or colorable imitation thereof, including, but not limited to, stars, badges, or shields, officially used to identify the vehicle as a federal, state, county, or municipal law enforcement vehicle or a vehicle used by a criminal justice agency as defined in s. 943.045, or a vehicle used by a fire department with the intent to mislead or cause another person to believe that such vehicle is an official vehicle of that agency ” The underlined language in that paragraph means that even if the words “Police” “Sheriff” “Highway Patrol” etc are not on the vehicle, you can… Read more »
They did not bring up his wearing the Expert Marksman Badge with two Bars. I was surprised the former MP did not take issue with this. Unless I missed an audible and this guy served in the Army and qualified for that badge.
J.D was a Airborne, Ranger , SF & LTC in his own mind. The full dress uniform photo tells a lot.
He is part of Phildo’s security detail.
One thing about that photo in Army greens, he has all his bling properly displayed. The only big mistake is his wearing of the beloved Blue Cord of Doom. And he is wearing a two ladder marksmanship badge, which I have never seen any officer above butter bar wear, even though technically authorized.
I bet he served right beside Les Brown.

THAT Boy ain’t right, I wonder how soon he’ll be Bubba & Thor’s bride once again?
All of the questions above (how does he pay for this stuff, who is the lawyer representing him, etc…) can be found at the following web page:

No idea who put together that website but they appear to have done some serious persistent due diligence.
I believe the official diagnosis for JD is “psycho hose beast”.
It’s the Walter Mitty syndrome at work again. It’s a shame that, as Green Thumb indicates above, this poor, misguided soul is simply in the wrong company (himself) and needs a base from which to operate his bidness.
OK, GT didn’t say that exactly, but the idea is there.
Too bad Dr. Phil didn’t ask him about his imagined military service of 12 years as an Army Special Forces Officer. Also, I’d like to know how he qualified as an expert marksman on an Army shooting range, since he never served a single day in our military. I note he wears the Army Expert badge with two ladders even on his fake police uniform.
Nothing quite like going on National TV to prove to the World what a lying sack of sh^t you are!
Mission Accomplished!
This guy will never stop. He’s found his own personal drug that assuages whatever mental illness he has. He gets his high from his charade. I bet he goes home and watches the videos over and over just like a sexual predator feeds his disease with pron.
Jail won’t fix him. It’ll just keep someone else from being victimized by him and deny him opportunity to escalate his behavior.
Dewitte is so thorough he’s had the registered sexual offender box checked off since 2005.
When he was 20 he abused (pled guilty)a child between the ages of 12-15.
https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/sops/flyer.jsf?personId=45895
Odds are he has or will combine the two. Maybe the exposure he gets on Dr. Phil will bring someone forward.
The child he molested was a 15 year old girl. This putrid piece of bug vomit decked himself up as an Afghan war hero Ranger and methodically worked on her infatuation of that aspect until he did the deed with her. Not only was he NOT a Ranger, he never made it out of the US of A before the Army bottom blew him out. If anyone living deserves to have their dick & balls pounded with a 2 pound hammer, it is him.
If the best we can hope for is him ending up in the slammer and not able to victimize someone else, I’ll take it.
Jeremy Dewitte’s narcissism will continue to be his own undoing, I don’t think he’ll ever stop digging himself deeper!
COMING SOON: Jeremy Dewitte’s prison marriage to Bubba, Thor and the rest of his cell block!…
Word.
Old JD here will be wallering fartboxes for a few extra smokes in Cell Block F.
it’s a good thing he likes to toss the salad…LMAO
Jeremy Dimwitte is gonna love the menu at the BTJT Deli (Home of the World Famous COCKMEAT SAMMICH).
Will he be married in uniform? He has two options if he does, his T-1000 costume or his Florida Department Of Correction issued orange jumpsuit. The couple are registered at the Prison Commissary.
What is the current All-Points Logistics initial entry packing list?
You made me shed tears.
In a good way. Great line. Thanks.
He might get his pic in uniform on the cover of “Prison Bride.”
How about a generous supply of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not K-Y” as a wedding present?
My burning question: Will he wear his Expert Marksmanship Badge on his orange jumpsuit?
I just read the Jeremy Dewitte website chronicling all this clown’s asshattery. It is quite a tale. The stolen valor really is just the cherry on top of the shit sundae. Florida is seeking an enhancement of sentence for JD being a habitual offender. He has been getting away with pretending to be a cop for over 20 years, along with multiple other offenses. He has already served over three years in the state pen, and this time he could get over ten years, even with some sort of plea deal. But Dr. Phil was correct when he said the pending charges against him, with enhancements, add up to over 85 years in the slammer.
He needs a real attorney.
Like Lori Benton at Ford and Harrison.
She has experience in cases such as this….
He needs an agent to get him on Jerry Springer.
A Springer show would be classic. Put his ass on the show with a bad ass retired cop and a buff ex-SF NCO. He needs a good beat-down on TV.
I am sure everyone has to sign a release of liability to be on the show, so there would be no legal consequences.
All that might be to much for Big Steve to handle.
Metro State.
https://www.metrostate.edu/
That’s what I always think of when I hear the name. I know a lot of people who attended there.
Frankly, “Doctor” Phil is just as phony as DeWitte. YMMV.
Yep
As pointed out by Blue Bacon, Dewitt traveled to California for 5 days without reporting the travel to the sheriff’s office. As a convicted sex offender he has to report any travel outside the state lasting over 48 hours.,,,Can you say another charge?
I watched some of this late last night into the morning.
What. A. Complete. Fucking. Ass. Monkey.
Jeremy is an unrepentant, narcissistic shitbird.
Yes this was Dr Phil entertainment but Jebus H. Tapdancing CHRIST, tis was painful. I mean, this guy *NEEDS* to go to jail for exactly what he fucking is doing and denying. It’s Obvious and Ann Frank, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Judge Crater, Mother Theresa and Helen Keller can all see what he’s doing and understand he’s guilty as fuck, trying to be a wannabe cop, he’s a registered sex offender and the company and everything is in his wife’s name so as to (LOL) not break laws because he’s a felon. One hundred and one times out of 100, he’s *SO* trying to get around *everything* and fake his shit.
He needs to go to prison for a LONG time and his wife needs some kind of fine or outside of the jailhouse punishment like 500,000 hours of community service, no probation, for being a fucking enabler.
I hope he goes in the klink and gets internally straightened out, repeatedly, because, well, sex offenders are treated *SO* well in the slam.
Anyway, enough of his shit and enough of mine on this
All y’all, here, are spot on about good old JCD. He is a shitbag of the n’th magnitude. I had this mutt constantly on my radar for a number of years while I was in the Orange County SO Intell unit. I got him violated and sent back to prison [where he learned absolutely fucking nothing] once. I wonder what happened to his Egyptian wife… I retired before anything about her was out. Folks, just let me say that if there is one asshole in this world who KNOWS that the planets, moons, sun… hell, galaxies revolve around him, it is Jeremy Charles DeWitte. This asswipe makes Bernath look like a boy scout.
You got him violated? What’s your address? I ship you a bottle of bourbon.
JD is in desperate need of a wood shampoo.
LOL… Appreciate the thought. Hoist a few for me.
your moniker… Antarctic service???
No. It came from a night of drinking while stationed in GTMO.
Preferably oak!
Bourbon?
Really?
This calls for nothing less than Whistle Pig, 100 proof, 100% rye, 10 years old Bottled in Bond!
Can stand the 10. The 12 year is where it’s at.
“This asswipe makes Bernath look like a boy scout.”
Holy Fucking SHIT.
You want to get TAH’s attention, go ahead and make a statement like this.
LOL, well, then again, I watched all the videos and now I’m on the https://jeremydewittecase.com/ site poking around and looking at this shit.
Well, there goes MY work-at-home-productivity day. 😀 😀 😀
There is a plethora of info there showing he is a deranged sociopath. Better pack a lunch; you will be reading and watching his hijinks for most of your day.
Truth!!!!! Sorry bout wrecking your day, but even though you got nothing done today, I know you will finish that [getting nothing done] tomorrow or next cuz yer no quitter.
***next week
That’s the damn truth, you’ve obviously read The Hemisphere of Insults®™ and if you have not, I invite you…*scroll down, you’ll find it. *
