Kaneik Brown, 27, was arrested on Saturday, March 21, in Hempstead, following a traffic stop, said the Nassau County Police.
According to detectives, Brown was driving a 2008 Mercedes Benz and had committed multiple traffic infractions that were observed by a Hempstead Police Officer who attempted to stop the vehicle.
During the stop, Brown allegedly waived an open wallet out the window and said that he was a Nassau County police officer, police said.
After officers confirmed he was not a member of the fore, a search of the vehicle found a name tag, a tie clip, handcuff keys, a replica HK VP9 BB gun, a duty belt, an armor plate carrier, a dashboard light, navy blue pants, and an empty holster, police said.
Brown was charged with criminal impersonation and multiple traffic violations. He was released on an appearance ticket.
