Alabama 18-year-old allegedly impersonated police officer in 2 states
Limestone County authorities say an 18-year-old outfitted his Toyota with stolen blue emergency lights, a police radio and dash cameras and initiated traffic stops in two states.
Logan William Martin, 18, of Harvest, was charged with impersonating a peace officer and has been released from the Limestone County Detention Center on $2,500 bond.
According to the sheriff’s office, Martin applied for a corrections officer position on Friday.
But an investigator received a tip that Martin had stolen blue lights from the Madison County Career Tech Law Enforcement vehicle, put them in his car, and was stopping cars.
After an interview, Martin confessed to impersonating a peace officer in Limestone, Madison and Jackson County, as well as Lincoln County, Tenn., according to authorities. A search warrant uncovered Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Madison County Sheriff’s Office, and Huntsville police property inside his vehicle.
According to the sheriff’s office, Martin was driving a white, two-door 2008 Toyota Solara, with blue lights in the front and back of the vehicle.
Anyone who was pulled over by Martin anywhere in the Tennessee Valley area is asked to get in touch with Capt. Caleb Durden at (256) 232-0111.
