Texas separatist gets probation for impersonating a Texas Ranger
A member of a Texas separatist group who was twice arrested for impersonating a Texas Ranger agreed Wednesday to begin serving probation.
Gregory Brent Davis, a 62-year-old member of the Republic of Texas, also agreed to pay a $1,250 fine and complete 200 hours of community service as part of his plea agreements for impersonating a public servant and unlawfully carrying a handgun.
Republic of Texas members believe that Texas never legally joined the United States and hope for a peaceful return to national sovereignty, according to the group's website.
Davis initially was arrested at a charity rodeo event in July 2011 while wearing a silver badge that said “Ranger” and carrying a Colt Model 1911 pistol in a leather holster, according to court documents.
