This is one way to get on the Florida man list and land behind bars. A 57-year-old Florida man has been charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer to get a discount at his local Wendy’s. Yep.
According to police, on Monday, officers responded to the Wendy’s restaurant on Commerce Parkway in Bunnell, regarding a disturbance call.
During the investigation, witnesses alleged, asked to be given a law enforcement discount for the purchase being made.
Stover was asked by the manager to provide his law enforcement identification. He quickly flashed a gold-colored badge to the Wendy’s staff and demanded the discount again.
When the request was denied, an argument ensued and police called.
During the argument, Stover told Wendy’s staff he was not a police officer but worked for the DEA as an undercover agent.
During the investigation, officers learned Stover was a regular customer at this Wendy’s and regularly demanded the discount for over two years.
Stover was placed under arrest. When Officers searched Stover, they found the badge used to impersonate a law enforcement officer in his wallet.
It was seized as evidence. The badge was actually a concealed weapon permit badge, which closely resembled a police badge.
Stover was arrested and booked into the Flagler County Jail and released on a $2,500 bond.
