Jason Collier Biography – Jason Collier Wiki
Jason Collier is a former Stinnett Police Chief. Collier has been in the news after several women alleged online that he had maintained relationships with them while married.
On Tuesday, Cecily Steinmetz, who was engaged to Collier before she learned he was married, shared to Facebook, writing, “Chief Jason Collier is living a double/triple life. 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. 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.”
On Tuesday, the Hutchinson County District Attorney’s office asked the Texas Rangers to conduct a criminal investigation into Collier. According to Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Cindy Barkley, “Collier allegedly sent a text message to the victim with a fraudulent government record attached. The document was a fraudulent marriage annulment.”
