The officer then told the suspect that he had no jurisdiction. He also informed him that having blue and red emergency equipment installed on his truck was illegal in the state.

Mastrogiovanni reportedly then fled the scene at Route 301 and Trade Zone Avenue.

The Capitol Heights officer followed him and contacted Prince George’s County police. PGPD was successfully able to stop the suspect.

Mastrogiovanni was arrested and charged with impersonating a police officer and released on his own personal recognizance.

Authorities are asking that that anyone who thinks they may have been stopped by Mastrogiovanni to Prince George’s County Police at...

I remember when I was in college one of my high school buddies had graduated and was working as a rent a cop. He was doing this for a bit...and then he pulled over an off duty deputy. Idiot.
