Indiana state Rep. Dan Forestal (D) was charged with drunken driving and impersonating a police officer after he reportedly tried to buy cocaine at a local bar, according to court documents reviewed by CNN.

The Marion County Sheriff's Department told CNN on Thursday that Forestal, 36, was charged with one count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, resisting law enforcement and impersonating a public servant. Police said his encounter with the police officer occurred Saturday night after authorities received reports of someone impersonating a police officer in Indianapolis.

Forestal, who was elected in 2012, reportedly told a local resident he was executing a drug bust in the area and, after showing a badge on a silver chain, asked where the "people selling drugs" lived, according to a probable cause affidavit review.

Hahahahahaha, this story is now ONE-THIRD of the ‘Rat’s Wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Forestal

He’s also a firefighter, a privileged class beyond reproach, or else one is alleged to hate firefighters, and to be told, “Fine see how fast he comes when YOU need him!”

His career is in no jeopardy.

What? A Democrat politician pretending to be something/someone he isn’t? No way! Who does this guy thing he is, Sen. Harkin or Blumenthal, who said they served in Vietnam BUT NEVER DID?

And buying cocaine? Who does he think he is, a Kennedy?

Indiana needs some housecleaning, from Peter “Bendover” Buttigieg to this clown.
