The Worcester County Sheriff’s is investigating a report of Police impersonation. On December 21, 2016 at 10:45 pm a female reported being stopped by a sedan with red and blue flashing lights on Route 12 in the area of Carmean Rd just north of Snow Hill. The suspect told her she had been speeding and demanded her driver’s license and registration. The female became suspicious when she noticed his badge only said “POLICE” and did not have an agency name or other familiar identifiers for police officers. She described the suspect as a white male approximately 5’6” and heavy set. He was wearing a brown button up shirt with the badge on his left chest. The female sped off possibly running over his foot. Anyone with information about this incident or who may have also been stopped in this area is asked to contact the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at 410-632-1112.
The investigation is ongoing. We will update when any additional information is determined.

As a general tip for anyone who is stopped by police. If you have any doubt as to the veracity of the police officer who stops you, call 911 or immediately head to the nearest barrack. You will not be punished for not stopping. Safety matters for real police officers and there are imposters out there who lurk. Beware.
ReplyDeleteVeracity doesn't fit here.
Deletetake a pic with your phone, not hard to do. I'm sure the kop will understand why.
ReplyDeleteIt has the correct number of letters, fits just fine although doesn't make no sense.
ReplyDeleteI don't live far from there. I wonder if law enforcement, or a jury, will indict me if I put a bullet through him when he stops me.
ReplyDeleteVeracity = honesty. It fits
ReplyDeleteKinda fits lol. The safest practice is to pull into a populated area that is well lit or continue to the closest police agency. It does not have to be a barrack lol. That particular stretch of road has had its fair share of police impostors. Years ago a women was raped. So be alert. With cell phones to day if you believe the stop to be suspicious call 911 and keep driving.
