Officer of the law misrepresented alibi for felon initially (7)
I believe the answer is:
bailiff
'officer of the law' is the definition.
'bailiff' can be an answer for 'officer' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of the law' bit.
'misrepresented alibi for felon initially' is the wordplay.
'misrepresented' is an anagram indicator.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'for felon' is 'ff'.
'alibi' is an anagram of 'baili'.
'baili'+'ff'='BAILIFF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bailiff that I've seen before include "Court official" , "Landlord's agent or steward" , "Landowner's agent" , "Possibly menacing landlord's agent" , "Sheriff's officer - landlord's agent" .)
