Police: Sexual assault suspect impersonated officer; authorities seek public’s help

Fort Worth police detectives are asking for public assistance in locating and identifying a sexual assault suspect who impersonated a police officer.

On Feb. 18 at approximately 8:15 p.m., police said, a female was driving a maroon Dodge Ram pickup truck and traveling on Loop 820 near Team Ranch Road. She noticed a black Dodge Charger directly behind her, and it had a white spotlight mounted on the driver’s side door, along with a red flashing light attached to its roof.

Believing a police officer was trying to stop her, police said, she pulled over onto the northbound shoulder at the Team Ranch Road exit. The Charger stopped behind her and the male suspect got out and approached the victim. He told to exit her vehicle and walk over to the passenger side of the Charger, where he sexually assaulted her.

Suspect description: A male (race unknown), approximately 6 feet tall with a stocky build. He wore a dark-colored jacket and dark-colored “jogger-style” pants tucked into white high-top Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers. He had a southern accent.
