Police: Pa. Teen Flashed Fake ID At Bar Claiming To Be A Cop

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (AP) — Police say a teenager from Lehigh County hanging out at a suburban New York bar used an unusual form of fake identification — a phony police ID.

The Nassau County Police Department says the 16-year-old claimed to be a police officer while chatting up a Rockville Center bar manager Friday evening. Police say the teen pulled out a bogus New York Police Department identification card, complete with a shield number.

The manager was dubious and called local police after the youth left. Police found him nearby on Park Avenue, and they say he told them he was an officer, too.

Nassau County police say the Schnecksville teen was also carrying fake New York and Colorado driver's licenses and two forged credit cards.

He was arrested on false personation and other charges.
