St. Pete Police Say Impersonator May Be On The Prowl

ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- St. Petersburg Police are searching for a possible police impersonator.

Thursday night, March 22, a tall black man in a white police-style sedan made a traffic stop, asked for the driver for a driver's license and drove off.

However, this is not typical police procedure so police are warning residents that an impersonator may be on the prowl.

The St. Petersburg Police advises anyone who feels unsure about the identity of a police officer to call 9-1-1, give them your location and the operator can verify whether or not it is a legitimate traffic stop.

If you have had a similar experience or have any information about this incident, contact St. Pete Police at (727) 893-7780.
