Police Impersonator No Danger to Public

During the follow-up investigation of the traffic stop involving a possible police impersonator, we have been able to verify the person involved was an Ohio State Highway Patrol employee. The Knox County Sheriff’s Office will be forwarding information from the report to the OSHP. There is no danger to the public. Citizens may request to see an officer’s identification or call the dispatch center if they are unsure about an officer’s legitimacy.
