Man impersonating a police officer pulls over a real police officer
When impersonating a police officer, Anthony Kenneth Mastrogiovanni pulled over an actual police officer.
From Prince George’s County, Maryland, NBC reports that Mastrogiovanni was driving his white pickup truck on southbound Route 301 in Upper Marlboro, Wednesday when he attempted to perform a traffic stop on a Capitol Heights police officer in her personal vehicle.
Mastrogiovanni told the officer he was a military police officer from Louisiana and advised the officer that he was speeding, police said.
The officer in turn told Mastrogiovanni he was out of his jurisdiction, and having blue and red emergency equipment in his truck was against the law in Maryland, police said.
The phony cop left the area, and the officer called Prince George’s County police and followed the suspect until they arrived.
Mastrogiovanni, age 29, was charged with impersonating a police officer and was released on personal recognizance.
