FAFO Champion of the Day – December 4, 2025Winner (by an absolute landslide): Dale Eacks – Kemper County, Mississippi Crime: Impersonating an East Mississippi Drug Task Force agent… and then showing up at the sheriff’s office when they called his bluff. The play-by-play: Dude calls the Kemper County Sheriff’s Office claiming to be “Agent Tyler Eacks” with the drug task force in neighboring Lauderdale County. Says he has hot intel on local drug activity and needs to talk to someone ASAP. Deputies immediately know no such agent exists. They tell him, “Cool story, bro. Come on down to the office and let’s chat.” Any normal wannabe-cop LARPer hangs up and deletes the call log. Not our champion. Dale/Tyler actually drives to the sheriff’s office, walks in, and doubles down: “I’m an undercover agent, here’s my info.” Hands over a wallet with zero badges, zero credentials, and (surprise) his real name is Dale, not Tyler. Instant cuffs, charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, $50,000 bond.
Sheriff’s statement basically wrote the trophy engraving for us: “We will not tolerate anyone playing cop for attention or convenience. ”This man took “F*ck Around,” hit the turbo button, and slammed face-first into “Find Out” in under an hour. He didn’t just bring a knife to a gunfight; he brought a fake badge to the sheriff’s office and asked for a participation trophy. Dale Eacks, come on down and claim your belt. 2025 FAFO Champion of the Day – undisputed, undefeated, and probably still confused.
