Police: Fake cop faked his death to avoid facing the music

Here's the facts on Climmie Sealey, according to the police: He is a fake cop who faked his own death to get out of legal trouble.

Guess what. It didn't work. He's alive and well at the DeKalb County Jail.

Atlanta police say that Sealey has a long criminal history and had stolen a woman's credit card number to buy police gear. That worried authorities. Investigators eventually found him working as a security guard who had claimed to be an off-duty police officer. They say he also had posed as a parole officer.

He had hoped a death certificate would end his legal problems, officials said.
