A suspected police impersonator picked the worst possible victim Monday night, when he pulled over the real thing.
“He was a good witness,” police spokesman Sonny Jackson said of Denver County sheriff’s Deputy James Moore, who was in his personal car when he was pulled over near Andrews Drive and Chambers Road about 11:15 p.m.
Darrick Ray Huhman, 23, of Denver was driving a white Chevrolet Impala outfitted with a siren and flashing blue-and-red lights in the grill and the rear window, officials said.
When Huhman got out of his vehicle and saw Moore’s Sheriff Department uniform, he got back in his car and took off. Denver police caught up to him and arrested him on the on-ramp to Interstate 70 off Chambers Road.
Huhman faces a felony charge of impersonating a police officer.
Jackson said authorities are investigating whether Huhman might be connected to other cases of police impersonation in the metro area over the past few months.
