You’ve heard of good cop, bad cop, but now it’s time for real cop, fake cop.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Florida reports that a man was arrested for impersonating law enforcement. How did he get caught? Well, he tried to pull over an actual member of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
According to a press release, the suspect initiated a traffic stop with a car that turned out to be an undercover Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office vehicle.
The actual deputies then pulled a reverse Uno card and initiated a traffic stop on the suspect’s vehicle, whereupon an illegal emergency light setup and a firearm were discovered.
The suspect, Nadi Jabari, was arrested and charged with false personation, unlawful use of a blue light and possession of firearm during commission of a felony.
We cannot confirm that Jabari was heard muttering, “What are the odds?” while being arrested, but we suspect that might be what he was thinking.
