CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- A man is accused of impersonating a Buffalo police officer on the heels of a bizarre incident last Friday in Cheektowaga.
A Cheektowaga Police Department officer, responding to a call for a reckless driver, allegedly found Corey Shepard, dressed in a police uniform, also responding. The department stated the officer noticed Shepard acting suspicious, but then showed the officer a badge and ID.
Upon investigating further, dash cam video from the officer's car showed Shepard pointing a gun at the stopped vehicle.
Police arrested Shepard, 26, at his Cheektowaga home on Monday and reportedly found stolen parking tickets, a police bulletproof vest and hat, various uniforms, handcuffs, a baton, and pepper spray, along with steroids and numerous fake badges and IDs.
