Convicted Felon Busted For Impersonating A Cop

Michael Scaletta-Teates, a 49-year-old convicted felon, was arrested by Bremerton Police after showing up at real emergency scenes in Bremerton, Washington, wearing what appeared to be Edmonds Police Department gear. Body cam footage reveals he claimed to be a detective working part time for Edmonds PD, showed up at calls like trespassing and a possible fire, and even told officers he knew people on task forces. He also worked as an unarmed security guard at a Salvation Army shelter. He’s now charged with first-degree criminal impersonation and unlawful possession of a firearm.
