Nassau County Police arrested, Frank Zenon, of Baldwin, for criminal impersonation, after he approached officers around 10:50 a.m., Saturday, May 11, while they were investigating another crime in Oceanside, said the Nassau County Police.
According to detectives, while conducting an investigation into an unrelated case at a 7-Eleven at 475 Merrick Road, they were approached by Zenon who identified himself to the detectives as a detective with the NYPD, police said.
