Woman accused of impersonating cop, tasing man

QUINCY, Mass. -- A Dorchester woman is facing charges after police say she pretended to be a police officer and tased a man, reports CBS Boston.

Quincy police received a report Wednesday night from a man and his girlfriend saying that Shunae Allen, 35, was "riding their bumper and honking her horn while frantically flashing her lights."

Allen allegedly followed the couple as they pulled over into a Roche Brothers grocery store parking lot.

The man reportedly told police Allen approached their car, opened the front passenger door where he was seated and tased him before telling them she was a police officer with a license to carry.

Police arrested Allen but were not able to find the taser.

She is charged with impersonating a police officer and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
