Impersonator Pulling Over Women Pretending To Be A Cop: Police

WALL, NJ – Wall police, along with Brick Township and the New Jersey State Police, are asking for the public’s help in identifying and apprehending a police impersonator.

On the night of Aug, 3 a woman reported that a man in a black, older model Ford Crown Victoria pulled her over and impersonated a police officer, which matches the description with another incident two days prior in Brick Township, where a woman pulled because she thought a police officer was pulling her over in a black, older model Ford Crown Victoria with a blue dome light on the front dashboard.

When pulled over, the suspect approached the vehicle, identifying himself as a police officer. The woman became suspicious and asked him for identification, which he failed to provide identification. The suspect then told her to exit the vehicle and attempted to pull her from the vehicle when she refused. The woman was able to escape the scene and report the incident.

The suspect is described as a 40-50-year-old white male with long red hair pulled back in a ponytail, a red scruffy beard, and tattoos on both arms and the back of his hands. He was last seen wearing black battle dress uniform pants, a light blue short-sleeved bloused shirt with the word “police” on the front, and non-descriptive patches on the arms that also said “police.” He was also wearing a duty belt and a holster with what appeared to be a black handgun.

A detective with the State Police’s Forensic Imaging Unit created a composite sketch of the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Christopher Mason of the Wall Township Police Department at 732-449-4500 ext.1192 or Detective Michael Bennett of the Brick Township Police Department at 732-262-1100.
