GREENE COUNTY, Pa. —
A former detective with the Greene County District Attorney’s Office is accused of making false claims about his military service and lying on his resume to get the job.
Court documents claim Tim Nease misled Greene County District Attorney, County Commissioners, and HR, by making numerous false statements about his professional record before being hired as a detective in June 2021.
The documents say his employment lasted just two weeks before he was terminated.
“One of the biggest things, most important things, is that when applying to law enforcement, people are honest about their backgrounds and the qualifications because these are high-security offices,” Greene County District Attorney David Russo said.
Nease is facing these charges of falsely pretending to hold notary public office or hold a professional/occupational license, unsworn falsification to authorities, and misrepresentation of military or veteran of the military.
Court documents said some of Nease’s work history was unverifiable.
“The defendant made false claims of military service to gain employment through government offices,” Russo said. “My office has the utmost respect for our veterans, of the sacrifices that they’ve made, so we take claims of stolen valor very seriously."
