COLUMBUS, Ind. — Local law enforcement are warning motorists about a possible police impersonator after a man was stopped on Interstate 65 Wednesday morning.
A black Dodge Charger with red and blue lights in the front window pulled over the man between exit 64 and 68.
The suspected impersonator asked for the driver’s license and registration. The victim noticed the officer did not have a badge. When asked to provide identification, the impersonator refused and tried to open the car door.
The victim drove away and the suspect did not follow.
“Anyone who was in the area today or anyone with any information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, should call authorities immediately,” said Bartholomew County Sheriff Matt Myers.
Police advise anyone who suspects they may be targeted by an impersonator to call 9-1-1. Also, turn on your emergency lights to draw attention and park in a well-lit area.
