A man is facing criminal charges after allegedly misrepresenting himself as a law enforcement officer to obtain discounts at a Chipotle restaurant on multiple occasions.
When contacted by law enforcement, the 62-year-old suspect admitted to being at the restaurant but denied identifying himself as an officer. Following the police visit, the employee received a phone call from a woman who questioned why police had been sent to her residence. The caller allegedly defended the man’s actions by claiming he was a former officer and threatened to contact immigration authorities regarding the employee and others at the restaurant.
A search of state and national law enforcement databases confirmed that the suspect is not, and has never been, a licensed peace officer.
Jackson has been charged with one misdemeanor count of impersonating a peace officer. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. He has been summoned to appear in court at a later date on the matter.
