He walked into a strip club, waved an invalid police badge and they waived the cover charge for him and a friend.
Police say Darren Philip Walker, 24, came into Bare Assets on West New Haven Avenue in Melbourne with an Ammomack County Sheriff's Office badge he bought off the internet while he was employed with the agency.
The club's manager told Brevard County Sheriff's Deputies that Walker claimed to be an undercover federal agent and wanted to question and arrest a woman named “Mason.†When confronted, Walker said he had not been employed by any law enforcement agency since 2011.
Walker allowed deputies to search his car – they found a brown “Deputy Sheriff†hat, an expandable baton, handcuffs, a blue strobe light and an orange traffic vest.
Walker was arrested early Thursday for impersonating a law enforcement officer. He is being held in Brevard County Jail.
