Bell County Woman Stopped Twice By Fake Police
The woman told state police she was driving on U.S. 25E in the Middlesboro area Sunday, when an unmarked green SUV pulled her over. A man, not in uniform told her she was speeding, but never asked for any paper work. He told her to slow down and let her go. The woman described him wearing a red Carhartt jacket with a badge around his neck.
Within the same mile, she told police she was stopped again. This time by a man driving a navy blue SUV. He got out of the car and asked for her license, but she did not see a badge anywhere. The woman claimed the man started screaming at her and hitting her window. When she said she would call state police, the man ran back to his car and left.
KSP now has extra patrol in the area and they are asking, if anyone else has been stopped like this, to give them a call at 606-573-3131.
