Sex Offender Impersonating Cop
Orlando, Florida deputies arrested a convicted sex offender, who was going around his community identifying himself as a police officer. Sex Offender Charged With Impersonating Officer
Michael Rodgers wore a police vest around the neighborhood, told everyone he was a cop, and said that if they had trouble they should come see him. One neighbor, suspicious, went to the Florida web site of registered sex offenders and discovered that Rodgers was a registrant who had spent 6 years in prison for lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under 16.
Since the sentence for that crime in Florida is 10 to 15 years, he could be facing up to 10 years for violating probation by committing the crime of falsifying the identity of a police officer.
