Police say fake officer arrested by real officer
ST. LOUIS (AP) – St. Louis police say a man impersonating a police officer tried to pull over the wrong motorist: a real police officer.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 20-year-old Nicholas Keeton was charged Thursday with false impersonation of a law enforcement officer.
Police say Keeton was driving an Impala equipped with a siren and flashing lights when he pulled up next to another vehicle Thursday at an intersection and allegedly identified himself as a police officer.
The driver of the other vehicle – an actual city officer in his personal vehicle – then arrested Keeton.
Online court records don’t list a lawyer for Keeton.
