“I was just on Union Centre Road and I was stopped by someone that had like police lights on, he said he was a police officer,” the female caller tearfully told the dispatcher. “He came into my car, hit me and then he tried to rape me.”
The suspect was wearing all black, a short sleeved shirt with no badge or identifying patches and a blue mask. He is a white male, approximately 30 years old, five feet eight inches tall, weighing around 150 to 180 pounds with brown hair in a buzz-style cut. The suspect approached the female victim’s car, acting as if he was a police officer.
West Chester spokeswoman Barb Wilson told the Journal-News there have been no new incidents of police impersonators and the police are still investigating.
The suspect had red and blue lights on his vehicle, Sgt. Brent Lovell said at the time that West Chester Police and police in the surrounding area only have blue lights on their vehicles.
Police advised in a situation when someone is stopped by police and he or she wants to verify that a law enforcement officer is making the stop, they should call 9-1-1 to confirm traffic stops.
