Teenage Police Impersonator Strikes Again

Written by News One on May 5, 2009 11:31 am

The teenager accused of donning a Chicago police uniform and going on patrol earlier this year is in more legal trouble after he dressed like a grown-up to allegedly take a car from a dealership.

The boy, now 15, showed up at a dealership on Friday “wearing a suit and tie” and asked to test drive a 1990 black Lexus, police spokesman Roderick Drew said. A dealership employee had to jump start the car — older than the boy — and the boy drove off while the employee was returning the equipment.

Police tried pulling over the car, but the boy drove until crashing into a traffic light, then climbed out and tried to fool police by posing as a father passing by the scene, Drew said.

“He grabbed a stroller and pushed the stroller to try to blend in,” said Drew, who did not immediately know if there was a child in the stroller.

He soon abandoned the stroller and tried to run but police grabbed him, Drew said.

In court Monday, the boy was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass to a vehicle, Drew said. Too young for a driver’s license, he was cited for driving without a license, as well as driving without insurance and registration plates.

The teen was also charged with leaving an accident scene. He remained in a juvenile facility Monday afternoon.

In January, the then-14-year-old entered a police station and posed as an officer for hours, including driving a patrol car and aiding an arrest. He was discovered after police noticed his uniform lacked a regulation star.

A department investigation recommended discipline for seven officers for what police characterized as “lax” behavior. The teenager has pleaded not guilty in juvenile court to impersonating an officer.

    There is something mentally wrong with this kid. Has he been tested for MPD? Seriously, I feel bad for him. It’s not even entertaining. It’s really sad.

    This is hilarious. Even funnier is that the other cops didn’t notice a 14 kid assist in an arrest! See, you don’t even need a high school diploma to be a cop. LOL

    No… it really isn’t sad. It’s amazing how smart the boy is. I mean really… HE’S 14! Cops aren’t plum dumb, you know what kind of acting he had to do to sit in a police station for hours and people not realize he’s not really a cop. Noticing there was no star on his uniform was detective type work. What grown criminals you know crash a car then immediately pretend they’re a concerned father passing by!? LOL that was some quick thinkin! It’s like that movie “Catch me if you can” which was based on a true story. This boy is going to have a decent career when he turns 18.

    funny and scary. who’s to say someone can’t pose as anyone who is a government official? I mean, it’s just a uniform now.

    LOL @ aiding in an arrest. It took a missing star on the uniform to know that he wasnt one of them. Just goes to show you that most people that graduate from college aint really smart… they just have the patience to memorize material from the books to answer on tests. Then they graduate and most become morons again.

Now your going to put him in juvenile hall where he will now impersonate a juvenile corrections officer. …Life is all a stage. He’s already acting his part…or the part of others…either way ROTFLMAO
