Impersonator identified, charged!
The Frederick Police Department charged a Frederick man on Monday with two counts of impersonating a police officer.
Cpl. Kirk Henneberry has applied for charging documents for David Alonso Bohorquez-Amado, 22, of the 1100 block of Wilson Place, police said.
About 11:45 p.m. Thursday, a black Chevrolet Impala with no emergency lights flashed its high beams to get a man to pull over, police said. A white man in his 30s without a uniform told the man he had been speeding. The impersonator then asked for the man's license and registration.
When the driver asked the "officer" for identification, the impersonator said another officer was on the way, got into the Impala and left, police said. There were no traffic stops at that time in that location by a sheriff's deputy, state trooper or city police officer.
About 8 a.m. Monday, Henneberry got a call from a man who had heard about the impersonator and had a similar encounter with him about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday on Wilson Place, police said. The impersonator had identified himself as a police officer but left after being questioned about his badge number.
Several hours after the tip, Sgt. Wayne Trapp found an Impala that matched the description of the impersonator's vehicle, police said. Bohorquez-Amado owned the vehicle and matched the description of the impersonator.
Bohorquez-Amado had heard of the impersonator on Lee and Wilson places and acknowledged confronting the victims, police said.
