TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - The owner of a Washington state security company has been accused of posing as a police officer and pointing a gun at a driver he tried to pull over on Interstate 5.
The News Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/2neUIkp) Michael James Landen Jr. is charged with assault and criminal impersonation.
Court documents say Landen had his lights flashing when he pulled over a white sedan in Seattle and told the driver he was an officer before pulling a gun on him.
Authorities say a search of Landen’s Ford Crown Victoria turned up a handgun, handcuffs, body armor and a Taser.
Landen allegedly told investigators he was trying to pull the other driver over because he was driving recklessly.
His Lakewood-based security company is called Professional Officers Involved in Community Enhancement.
