Latta allegedly entered the Tustin Inn, 440 E. First Street, and approached the victim, as well as a bartender, while flashing a badge resembling that of a law enforcement officer.
Latta ordered the woman show identification, then cut the card into pieces when she complied, officials said. Both the victim and the bartender believed Latta was a police officer, police added.
"Latta then forced the victim to leave the bar" according to the police statement. "Once outside, Latta forced the victim to put her hands on a wall and spread her feet. Latta then searched the victim, touching her breast and groin area over the clothing."
Latta allegedly told the victim she would not be arrested and ordered her to leave the bar and never return.
The incident was reported to real police officials, who launched an investigation.
Detectives found and arrested Latta Thursday in Old Town Tustin, officials said. She had fake law enforcement identification cards and badges, as well as stun guns, handcuffs and other items caught the attention of police, Tustin police Lt. Bob Wright said.
She never told the victims she was a police officer during the encounter, Wright said.
She told detectives she was a private detective and bail enforcement officer, but did not have documentation to prove either, police said.

I think Laz needs to get out more.
