I found this video on YouTube whilesearching for something else, and it it appears to have an interesting backstory and a seemingly unresolved mystery.
Short form is that Roland Carnaby was stopped by the police for speeding or somesuch and presents a CIA ID, and his wallet also (apparently) has a concealed carry license). Officers are suspicious and ask him to get out of the vehicle at which point he guns his SUV and bolts beginning an hour long chase. When he is finally stopped he refuses to exist the vehicle and the officers begin smashing their way in. He finally exists the drivers side and is promptly shot front and back, and dies handcuffed on the side of the road before medical help can arrive.
Head of an intelligence office organization in Houston and represents himself to be CIA, but the CIA disavows any knowledge that he was an agent. And why the hell did he run from the police?
Can’t find much one the web re any followup beyond the initial news reports. Who was this man? Was there more about this in the Houston papers?
Usually CIA/FBI people don’t pose in front of those places for family snapshots, and they certainly don’t tell their neighbors about their work tracking down someone like Osama Bin Laden. It could be that he was an intelligence groupie, and liked to pose as someone who worked in intelligence. After all, why would a CIA officer flee from a speeding ticket, let alone show his CIA ID rather than a driver’s license?
sounds very much like a “secret agent” wannabe.
None of his actions would be remotely reasonable for a real employee of any federal agency.
On a related tangent, around Coronado Beach Ca. (a major base for the US Navy SEALS), there are always (so I have heard), a group of men who are trying to impress the ladies with stories of their adventures as SEALS. The real SEALS are kind of annoyed, if you have gone through the training and gone on deployments, you don’t sit around a bar bragging about it. Wannabes. it seems that there is a significant subset of people who just can’t give up the dream even if they can’t make the grade.
A similar case involving someone who’d made up stories about a career in the SAS after failing to get in is currently topical in the UK press again. (Of course, the Daily Mail thinks he was murdered.)
