A Washington state man, Michael Scaletta-Teates, is accused of impersonating a police officer and responding to several emergency calls in full uniform. He is a convicted felon.

According to a release issued by the Bremerton Police Department (BPD), police contacted Scaletta-Teates after he arrived at an active police scene. He arrived in an unmarked vehicle with blue police lights, the BPD said.

Allegedly, he identified himself as an off-duty Edmonds Police detective. The BPD detailed that he was wearing body armor with “POLICE” and “SWAT” logos, alongside an Edmonds Police badge.

Body camera footage obtained by KOMO News shows the moment Scaletta-Teates talked with responding police officers. One Bremerton officer told him, “I thought you were like one of our detectives at first.”
