A Texas police chief has been arrested after his fiancée exposed his alleged triple life on Facebook by stating that he has a wife, girlfriend, and is still dating. Jason Collier, the former head of Stinnett Police Department, was arrested by the Texas Rangers on the felony of tampering with government records with intent to defraud – namely, a fake marriage annulment.

"Chief Jason Collier is living a double/triple life," she wrote. "I was his girlfriend until yesterday. He lied to me and presented me with fake annulment documents when I found out he was married. "I also found out about a 2nd girlfriend, Kristi, last night. He has lied to us, our children, and asked us both to marry him. He is a poor representative of your town." She continued: "He would also visit me in Amarillo when he was on shift. We just returned from vacation in Taos on Sunday - meanwhile, his other GF was told he was on work assignment in Portland, OR."

The post did not go unnoticed on the social media website, and at the time of writing, it has received over 36K comments and 23K reactions. "The City of Stinnett is aware of the current situation surrounding the Chief of Police Jason Collier," City Manager Durk Downs wrote in a statement on Facebook the following day. "The city is taking this seriously and will be looking into any violations of city policy," it said, before adding that Collier had been placed on administrative leave.

Sgt. Cindy Barkley of the Texas Department of Public Safety said that the Hutchinson County District Attorney's office asked the Texas Rangers to launch a criminal investigation into Collier.

Barkley stated: "Collier allegedly sent a text message to the victim with a fraudulent government record attached. The document was a fraudulent marriage annulment." Sgt. Barkley said that he has now been charged with tampering with a government document with the intent to defraud. This is a state jail felony and his bond was set at $10,000.
