Steven Michael Johnson, best known as cancer-fighting T-shirt designer “Scuba Steve,” was arrested for allegedly impersonating a cop when authorities asked him to move his car at a local arts festival — but he claims it’s all a big “misunderstanding. ” Johnson, who gained fame for founding Scuba Steve Clothing Company, was working as a vendor in downtown Picayune, Mississippi, at the Spring Street Festival on Saturday when a police officer asked him to move his car out of a restricted area. “He was asked to show his badge and credentials, and he said he left them at home, and then walked off,” Picayune Police Chief Joe Quave told the Sun Herald.
