Story by Jacki Thrapp • 2h

A Washington convicted felon is accused of impersonating a police officer when he arrived at various emergency calls and authorities discovered he had a “large amount of police equipment.”

Michael Scaletta-Teates responded to an active police scene in Bremerton, Wash. on Sept. 5, where he wore a dark uniform with a tactical vest that showcased a metallic Edmonds Police Department badge and “police” and “SWAT” patches, according to the Bremerton Police Department.

“I thought you were like one of our detectives at first,” a Bremerton Police officer told Scaletta-Teates, police body camera footage obtained by KOMO showed.
 
“I know some of the guys with the task force,” Scaletta-Teates told the officers during his arrest.

Had he claimed to be an illegal alien, they probably would have just told him to not do it anymore and released him.  It is liberal Washington after all.
