The Hall County Sheriff's Office is investigating a Monroe man for impersonating a police officer and is asking the public to come forward if they have been stopped or approached by him. On April 27, Sheriff's Deputies stopped a black Dodge Charger on Browns Bridge Road after receiving a lookout for a possible police impersonator. The driver was arrested and charged with Impersonation of a Police Officer, Driving Under the Influence of Drugs and other charges. The Sheriff's Office is requesting that anyone who believes they may have had contact with this individual in a situation where he presented himself as a law enforcement official to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 770-531-6879.
