A Macomb Township man posing as a Detroit cop is facing a misdemeanor charge after attempting to pull over a car in Oakland County and then finding out the driver was an off-duty Waterford Township police officer, officials said.Christian Katan Mansoor, 18, was arraigned Wednesday in 52-3 District Court, charged with impersonating a public officer. A personal bond was set at $5,000, meaning no cash or surety had to be posted for him to be released from custody.
The incident unfolded shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday near M-59 and Crooks Road in Rochester Hills, where Oakland County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched after the Waterford Township cop reported someone in a silver BMW with red and blue lights drove up behind her and tried to pull her over, the sheriff’s office said.
After the alleged phony cop — later identified as Mansoor — passed the Waterford officer near Dequindre and Hamlin roads, she reportedly followed him to confront him, the sheriff’s office said. She identified herself as a police officer and asked Mansoor for identification, who allegedly claimed he was a Detroit cop from the 12th precinct, the sheriff’s office said.
