An Indianapolis man was arrested Thursday after authorities said he impersonated a police officer during the procession and ceremonies for fallen officer Rod Bradway.
At about 3:30 p.m., just before the procession from Officer Bradway’s funeral to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Northwest District Headquarters, officers arrested 38-year old Minh V. Nguyen.
According to the police report, Nguyen was arrested at Northwest District Headquarters for impersonating a public service officer and theft. Metro police detectives noticed Nguyen standing at the far side of Northwest District in a full police uniform complete with two guns. However, the patch on his uniform was not for IMPD, it was a generic emblem. Detectives were suspicious of Nguyen because he has a history of impersonating officers, though he’s never been arrested for doing so before.
When officers asked Nguyen Thursday if he had arrest privileges, he told them no. They quietly took him around and inside Northwest District Headquarters to talk to him more. He said his permit for his guns was in his car. Inside his vehicle, described as a Dodge Charger made to look like that of an undercover officer, they found several pieces of paperwork Nguyen should not have had access to as a private citizen. He also had an AR15 rifle in the car.
