A married police chief has been caught and called out big time — having multiple affairs, as a damning Facebook post airs his “double/triple life” to tens of thousands of social media users.
Jason Collier, head of the police department in Stinnett, Texas, was accused of multiple infidelities by one of his girlfriends in a post to the town’s Facebook page on Tuesday.
Collier, 41, had previously uploaded ‘a now-deleted‘ Facebook post celebrating his anniversary with wife Opal.
The father of four – who happens to be a minister and responsible for providing police protection to a small town of 1,800 people – was in trouble when Cecily Steinmetz, 39, revealed not all was as it seemed.

“Chief Jason Collier is living a double/triple life,” Steinmetz wrote, alongside romantic photos of the pair.
“I was his girlfriend until yesterday.”
Steinmetz alleged the police chief lied to her when he showed her “fake annulment documents” stating he had not been married when they met.
“I also found out about a second girlfriend, Kristi, last night. He has lied to us, our children, and asked us both to marry him.”
The Texan woman spared no detail on the pair’s extra-marital affair.
Steinmetz said Collier would visit her while on duty, and the pair would take vacations across the US together while he informed his other partners he was on a “work assignment”.
In a final blow, Steinmetz declared Collier was a “poor representative” of the town.
“The jig is up, Jason,” she wrote.
In September, Collier wrote an anniversary post for his second wife of four years, Opal, saying he couldn’t “imagine doing this life” without his “beautiful bride”.
“I know I fall short daily of being the Godly husband, but know I will work hard to be the man you deserve!” he wrote.
“God has blessed me with you and I can’t wait to see what all He has in the works for us! Thank you for loving me, sacrificing for us, and walking this life beside me! I love you … Here’s to many more years and memories to come!”
Collier’s other girlfriend, Kristi Shaffer, has since claimed the couple they had been engaged since December.
Collier has remained silent on the issue, taking down his personal profile on Facebook. However, Steinmetz shared the video apology he sent her about their affair.
“I feel like the biggest piece of s–t. Sorry,” he said in the video.
“I didn’t mean to hide anything or lie to you. Sorry. I’m so sorry. Please, I just want you to forgive me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

The city of Stinnett issued a statement on its Facebook page, claiming it was aware of “the current situation surrounding the Chief Of Police.”
The Stinnett Police Department’s Facebook page has also been taken down.
“The city is taking this seriously and will be looking into any violations of city policy,” city manager Durk Downs said in a statement.
“Chief Jason Collier has been placed on leave while the city investigates.”
Collier’s girlfriends have since compared stories about him, noting he regularly bought them all the same gifts and made the same excuses for being unavailable.
The police chief met most of the women through the dating site Plenty of Fish.
“Looking for friendship and then more from there,” his profile read.
“Not looking for a hook up. Sincere conversation, building trust and relationship first. Looking forward to hearing from you!”
The escalating drama has left social media users calling for a Netflix special on the story.
“I need to hear from this man. How did he manage to juggle 4 kids, all these women AND a full time job!?!” one Facebook user wrote.
Another said: “Y’all! This is the Tiger king of 2021.”
“Some people hate Trump, some people hate Biden, but EVERYONE hates Jason Collier,” another quipped.
