SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTY, MI-- State police are telling drivers in Schoolcraft County to be on the lookout for a fake officer making traffic stops.
WLUC-TV says police have received multiple reports of a man in a brown uniform and gold badge stopping motorists. He has no patches or name tag, though he claims he’s a recently hired deputy with the Schoolcraft County Sheriff’s Department.
Witnesses say he’s driving a dark car—possibly a Dodge Charger. It may have a black brush guard on the front, a red and blue flashing light bar inside the windshield, and a spotlight.
Michigan State Police troopers and a detective are investigating the incidents.
Anyone with information regarding the man’s identity are asked to call the St. Ignace Post at 643-7582. Anyone who has been stopped by the man should report it to authorities.
