Subject Impersonates Police Officer In Daviess County
At approximately 10 a.m. on June 15, 2021, a white male wearing a law enforcement-style uniform driving a vehicle described as a black Dodge Charger with police markings with emergency lights inside the vehicle stopped a citizen on Missouri Highway 6 near Gallatin, Missouri, in Daviess County. The individual represented himself as a law enforcement officer and issued the citizen citations from New York state. There was an unknown make, white cargo-style van driving in front of the citizen’s vehicle that may have been working in conjunction with the individual posing as a law enforcement officer.
The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation. If anyone has information relevant to this investigation, they should contact the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department at (660) 663-2031.
