“He had the lights activated on the grill,” Knippen said. A trooper got behind him and pulled over Williams at about 6 a.m.
Williams’ vehicle also had an expired temporary license plate that had been forged to make it look as if was valid and he also identified himself as a “constituent,” according to prosecutors.
“He had some type of badge from New York with the word ‘constituent’ on it claiming that he was law enforcement,” Knippen said. “Which is not accurate to say the least. What he was saying was clearly false.”
Knippen said Williams also has an active warrant in New York, according to state police there.
“And they (New York officials) confirmed they have no constituent officers,” the assistant prosecutor said.
Williams was indicted for forgery, a fifth-degree felony; illegal use of placards, windshield stickers or temporary license placards, and impersonation of a peace officer, both fourth-degree misdemeanors. He is housed in the Warren County Jail and scheduled for arraignment Wednesday in common pleas court.
