A man who walked into a police station dressed like a federal agent — complete with a badge, tactical gear, and a loaded pistol — has been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Jaimie Lynn Cummings, 52, of York County, was sentenced to 40 months’ imprisonment for impersonating an officer of the United States and illegally possessing a short-barreled firearm. He was sentenced by United States District Judge Kelli N. Neary on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, according to the release.

Cummings previously pleaded guilty to falsely claiming to be a Deputy U.S. Marshal and possessing multiple illegal firearms, officials said.

The charges stem from a bizarre Sept. 20, 2023, incident when Cummings entered the Northern York Regional Police Department wearing a U.S. Marshal shield, tactical clothing, and a holstered firearm. He identified himself as a deputy to a civilian worker and asked to speak with Chief David Lash, according to the release.

Detectives noted Cummings appeared “disheveled” and was not recognized by any U.S. Marshals assigned to the area. When Chief Lash requested his identification, Cummings refused, claiming he belonged to a covert “special operations group.” Lash ordered him to leave, police said.

Cummings’ behavior had alarmed his family in the days leading up to the incident. His wife and niece told investigators he had been acting “strangely,” calling himself a U.S. Marshal and appearing increasingly delusional, according to court documents.

He was later taken into custody at his Conewago Township home without incident. Officers seized multiple loaded weapons, magazines, ammunition, and two AR-platform rifles — both loaded with rounds in the chambers — from his vehicle and residence. Investigators also found rifles shorter than sixteen inches, which he possessed illegally. His prior 1997 felony robbery conviction in Maryland barred him from owning any firearms, authorities said.

Judge Neary noted Cummings’ criminal history, personal circumstances, and the seriousness of his conduct when imposing the sentence, officials said.

The case was investigated by ATF and Northern York Regional Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Consiglio prosecuted the case as part of Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative targeting violent crime, cartels, and transnational criminal organizations.
