6-18-13 green lake county police impersonator update

Green Lake County authorities continue to investigate a possible police impersonation near the City of Berlin.  So far, Chief Deputy Sheriff Mark Putzke says no arrested have been made, but the Sheriff’s Office is being assisted by  Berlin police and other outside agencies.  The incident came to light last week when an individual called police concerned about a traffic stop that occurred on County Highway E, West of County Highway F.  The individual says an adult white male wearing a dark uniform that had a badge with no nametag conducted the traffic stop.  The man gave the citizen a warning and followed him into the City of Berlin, continuing into Winnebago County before turning back around.  The vehicle was described as a Black Ford Crown Victoria with “Police” on the side and “911” on the rear quarter panel.  The vehicle also had red and blue lights on the inside dash.  The man was further described as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds, short black hair, and a black mustach.  Motorists are asked to report any similar vehicles or incidents to the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
