Man charged with police
impersonation
Denver District Attorney Bill
Ritter, Jr. has formally charged a man in connection with
impersonating a police officer.
Derik Dohm
(DOB: 08-02-81) is charged with
two counts of impersonating a police officer (F6) and possession
of red or blue lights (M1).
The charges allege that Dohm
went to a Denver home on August 24, 2004 and introduced himself
as Detective Scott. He was wearing a badge, gun on his belt and
was looking for a man that he claimed was wanted for grand theft
auto.
The charges allege that Dohm
returned to the house on August 26, 2004 in a truck with a red
and blue light bar introducing himself again as Detective
Scott. Dohm allegedly spoke with a resident demanding him to
return a truck he just bought or else he would be arrested.
Dohm is out on bond but will
appear in Denver County Court, room 12T, on October 27, 2004 at
9 a.m. to be formally advised of the charges.
