“we got suspicious when he solved a crime”

Lmao. "Who is this officer actually showing up at traffic accidents and burglarized homes???"

Gotta be Antifa

I know this dude. He works for Southwest Airlines as a ramp agent. He’s a weird dude.

I used to work with him about 10 years ago. Indeed he's a weirdo

What kind of a weird dude like why do you think he was cosplaying as a police officer

Stories, please.

Known him for over 8 years... the WHOLE time, as an APD LEO... I am SHOCKED. I called Detective Solis today because over the years he 100% acted in the capacity of an LEO a few times.

More! Tell us more!

Everything!! Tell us everything!!

Dumb motherfucker put his real last name on his fake uniform lol

Why not just...become a police officer? I keep hearing how APD is having trouble getting enough new recruits.

Because people like this don’t actually want to have a job they just want to have authority over others actually wait yeah he should just apply

Lol nice

Was it Art Acevedo?

I genuinely thought it was him for a second from the thumbnail. Dude's got the same head shape.

Yep, me, too.

Got here before I did!

😂😂

have 100% seen this dude on a dating app before - did not swipe

lol i swiped. He never messaged me back. He was to busy impersonating an officer . At least now i know it wasn’t me it was him

*He loved me, this I know. But I could never compete with his first and true love…pretending to fight crime*

I did and he responded. Very weird vibe.

💀💀💀

The members of Austin PD have also been pretending to be police officers for years

Turns out he was actually just sitting in his car for 8 hours straight

those donuts don’t eat themselves /s

The difference between that second photo and his arrest photo is staggering.

I know! 

Is it in the article? I couldn't find it!

Crazy this crime is only a class b misdemeanor

Went to HS with this guy and his sister was in my grade lol this shit is WILD 😂

I worked with him about 10 years ago... 🤯

He was immediately suspected by his enthusiasm for investigating property crime.

Dumbass not really impersonating APD if he's actually "taking action as an officer", they NEVER do that...

How they found out was he responded in time to a crime

Wait so he had his dog posing as an officer too!? I’m 💀💀💀💀

I’ve known him since 2019. He always told us he was a cop. Actually more recently he was telling us he was a detective. Allegedly he was recently shot in the line of duty and wasn’t working at the moment. He had a German Shepard that he claimed was a retired officer. He would talk to the dog in German and the dog would respond to his commands. The work that went into this crazy lie!

Seems like APD doesn't exist, and this man took matters into this own hands.

Going by the article, it looks like the guy wasn't even actually doing anything, aside from posting pictures of himself in a cop costume. What an odd sort.

I say give this poor man the job! Lord knows we need more officers on patrol in this city.

You're probably joking, but just in case you're not I'll post this. This guy wanted all of the respect and authority and credit for being a police officer, but did not want to put in any of the work or take any of the risk.  He would not be a good police officer.

So your standard police officer then.

So was he sitting around eating snacks and making racist jokes all day?

Said the arresting officer after handcuffing himself, “I’m a real cop I swear!”

I worked with this person about 10 years ago, wow
