Police Impersonation, Illegal Traffic Stop Suspects Released Until Baltimore County Trials

TOWSON, MD — Two police impersonation suspects were arrested recently in Towson, the Baltimore County Police Department said. Court records say the suspects were later released until their trials.

An officer completing a business check near Joan Avenue and Loch Raven Boulevard said they caught the suspects conducting an illegal traffic stop.

The suspects' vehicles had green and white flashing lights, authorities said.

Police said one suspect's vehicle pulled in front of the victim's vehicle while a second vehicle stopped behind it, preventing their ability to move.

One suspect was armed when he was taken into custody, officers said.

Authorities said they found more firearms in the second suspect's vehicle.

The Baltimore County Police Department said it seized firearms, a taser, a pepper ball launcher and a bulletproof vest with a body-worn camera attached to it.

Officers on March 4 announced the arrests of Jordan Kearney, 24, of Randallstown and Kendall Vaughn, 30, of Baltimore. Authorities said the illegal traffic stop happened on Feb. 28.

Separate judges released the men on recognizance on March 3.

Court records show that both suspects face misdemeanor charges of impersonating a police officer, false imprisonment and reckless endangerment.

Kearney was also charged with three other misdemeanor weapons charges and one firearm felony, the case file says.

Kearney does not yet have a trial date listed. Vaughn's is scheduled for April 21.
