Teen Impersonates a Police Officer

A Miami teen is at it again.  Matthew Scheidt, 18 years-old, who was arrested last year for impersonating a physicians assistant, is in police custody yet again...this time for impersonating a police officer.

According to police, Matthew was driving a car similar to an unmarked police car. He got into a conversation with the driver of another car and suggested the driver put on his seat belt.

The other driver asked if he was a police officer and Matthew said he was. Matthew was driving a white Ford Crown Victoria (everyone knows police use the Crown Victoria...right), speaking police jargon and using a laptop.

Well, little did Matthew know, the other driver was an undercover police officer. The undercover officer actually spotted Matthew driving in Miami Beach and thought he looked suspicious so he started a conversation with him in which Matthew stated he was a police officer.  He didn't recognize Matthew as a police officer so he pulled him over.




So how was he accidentally released from jail?  This might explain why some parts of Florida are infested with crime...the criminals are "accidentally" released.

Matthew, Sr. seems as confused as Matthew is...should he get him psychiatric help...um mm that would be a big YES. Especially since the clip of him speaking was from Matthew's arrest last year!  What is Matthew, Sr. waiting on...maybe for him to actually injure someone?

While pretending to be a physicians assistant last September, he performed CPR on a patient during a cardiac arrest!  It's also reported he interviewed patients, conducted physical exams on male patients, read confidential medical records, and cleaned and dressed wounds. He hasn't appeared in court yet to face charges of five counts of impersonating a physicians assistant.  His court date in this case in March.

He once was a member of the Osceola future law enforcement officers program. But they kicked him out because he continued to wear items that made him appear to be a police officer...including a badge.  Matthew has some serious issues...he apparently doesn't like who he is so he pretends to be someone else.

Matthew has been doing this type of craziness since he was 14 years-old! Hopefully, he will be placed in a facility where he can get long-term psychiatric care.
