A 64-year-old Mound House man was arrested Wednesday for gross misdemeanor impersonating a police officer among other charges, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.
The man was taken into custody at 7:10 a.m. in the area of College Parkway and Nye Lane. He also faces misdemeanor charges of battery, driving without a valid license and suspended registration.
According to the arrest report, a deputy was dispatched to a gas station and convenience store in reference to a man who became unruly after the automatic tire machine wasn’t working.
The suspect met with a store manager and director who told her the machine was a scam and money sucker, the arrest report states. As the manager attempted to explain to the man how to use the air machine, he began cussing at her. The manager asked the man not to talk to her that way, the report states.
When he wouldn’t stop yelling at her she told him he would have to leave the store. The man then told the manager he was a cop, the arrest report states.
As the manager walked behind the counter, the man flipped out his wallet with an ID and what looked to to be a toy badge. The manager reached out to take the badge and look at it when the man grabbed her by the hand aggressively. She called 911 to report the incident.
The man then got into a vehicle with California license plates and left. The suspect was stopped at College Parkway and Nye Lane. The driver was identified and did not have a valid license and his registration was suspended.
A Community Service Officer police ID, along with a Santa Clara Fire Department badge, were booked into evidence. Bail: $3,941.
