Police Imposter Pulls Over Off Duty Officer
From myfoxphilly.com -
John Brock, 42, was cruising around in his Crown Victoria after having a few and decided it would be a good idea to try to pull over a car and pretend to be a police officer.
Scene change… An off-duty detective was running errands on Saturday afternoon when he noticed a Crown Victoria behind him signaling for him to pull over. The off-duty detective didn't recognize the vehicle, but complied with the stop after Brock flashed a gold badge. Brock informed the detective that he was a police officer before yelling curse words and threats and storming off into a local retail store.
The detective contacted other officers about the imposter, so when Brock left the store, state troopers were waiting to take him into custody.
Brock being charged with impersonating a police officer and has been issued a D.W.I.
