Fake Teen Cop Gets Arrested While Trying To Conduct A Traffic Stop-Impersonating Sheriff's Deputy

An 18-year-old in New Mexico has been charged with impersonating a sheriff's deputy after he allegedly conducted a traffic stop using police lights he outfitted on his car, police said.

An Albuquerque Police officer happened upon the scene Monday just after 12:30 a.m. and saw a vehicle without any police markings but outfitted with red and blue flashing lights, according to a criminal complaint.

As the officer was driving by, a man standing outside the stopped vehicle waved at him as he was passing, which prompted him to turn around and stop next to the unmarked car.

The man, who was wearing plain clothes but had a star-shaped badge on his belt, identified himself as Brenden Wysynski and told the officer that he had worked for the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office for the past three years, according to the complaint.

Body camera footage from the scene shows Wysynski saying, "This is all I got," and gesturing to the badge when the officer ask if he had identification on him.
