When a woman filed for a protective order against Creola police officer Daniel Stubbs in February, accusing him of threatening to drug her and kill her, the Creola Police Department launched an internal investigation, the department confirmed.

Monday night, that investigation concluded with Stubbs’ termination.

As it turns out, he shouldn’t have been hired in the first place, according to a TV news report.

According to a report by WPMI, the Alabama Peace Officers’ Standards & Training Commission, Stubbs likely obtained his Alabama certification fraudulently when he failed to disclose he had been decertified as a police officer in Tennessee in 2001.

“Mr. Stubbs’ law enforcement certification in Alabama is invalid, as it appears he obtained said certification fraudulently. It appears that Mr. Stubbs may have intentionally misled his employing agencies and the Commission when he applied for certification in this state,” APOSTC deputy executive secretary Maj. Neil G. Tew wrote in an email.

In addition, WPMI reported Stubbs was also fired for undisclosed reasons as a police officer in Spanish Fort prior to his hiring as a Creola officer.

According to court records, the allegations of domestic abuse filed by the victim not only include threats by Stubbs to drug and kill her, but also sending her vulgar pictures, repeatedly attempting to touch her sexually, and breaking in to her electronic devices.

The woman also claims Stubbs threatened to kill himself and, in one instance, locked himself in a room with all his guns.
