An alleged phony cop is arrested after pulling over a real officer.
An off-duty detective with the Suffolk County Police Department sensed something fishy when the ‘police officer’ that pulled him over went back to his SUV and drove off.
VIDEO:
According to police, Victor Alfaro-Marquez, 35, of Selden,was driving an unmarked, Mercedes-Benz SUV with flashing lights and sirens when he stopped Detective William Zambito at 4:30 a.m. on Monday.
When Det. Zambito told Alfaro-Marquez that he was a police detective, Alfaro-Marquez allegedly said he was an agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Selden resident was arrested later that evening at his home on Ruland Road.
The Mercedes-Benz he was driving was impounded.
