In July 2023, Officer Jacob Blazer was placed on administrative leave following allegations of criminal activity. An investigation by the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s investigators led to felony charges being filed against Blazer on February 1, 2024. The charges included False Reporting of a Crime to Law Enforcement, Arson in the Second Degree, Endangering Human Life During Commission of Arson, and Conspiracy to Commit a Felony. Blazer was subsequently terminated from the Shawnee Police Department for behavior not aligning with the department’s integrity and code of ethics.
