Police Impersonator Arrested While Attempting To Conduct Traffic Stop On I-695
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Maryland State Police arrested a police impersonator trying to conduct a traffic stop on I-695 on Sunday.
Timothy Ervin Trivett, 54, of Yorktown, Virginia, was arrested and charged with impersonating a police officer and multiple handgun charges.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, a Maryland state trooper saw a 2012 black and white Chevy Impala with blue and white flashing lights attempting to make a traffic stop on a gray Honda Accord on the outer loop of I-695 Green Spring Avenue in Baltimore.
The trooper pulled behind the Impala and saw Trivett, who was wearing what looked to be police equipment, body armor, and a uniform.
Trivett was arrested and taken to the Baltimore County Detention Center where he was later released on an unsecured bond.
Police continue to investigate, and are looking to see if anyone else may have been pulled over by the alleged police impersonator on Maryland roads. Contact Golden Ring Barrack at 410-780-2700 with any relevant information.
