Man arrested for impersonating officer
Apr 1, 2007

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have a person in custody after a man was caught on camera at Mississauga's Trillium Health Centre dressed as a police officer. Officers from the OPP Orillia detachment took a 23-year-old man from Ramara Township into custody last night, said OPP Const. Dave Woodford. The man was arrested after police made a deal with his lawyer, the officer added.

Police said the man was spotted at seven GTA hospital emergency rooms over a 24-hour period, beginning Friday evening. He was allegedly wearing an authentic OPP uniform and carrying an air-pistol in his holster. The man raised suspicions among hospital staff after asking several strange and "disturbing" questions, police said.

The man faces four charges, including impersonating a peace officer. At this time, his name is not being released.
