A police impersonator picked the worst possible victim Monday night when he pulled over the real thing.
“He was a good witness,” Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said of Denver County Sheriff’s Deputy James Moore, who was in his own car when he was pulled over near East Andrews Drive and Chambers Road at 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.
When Huhman got out of his car and saw Moore’s uniform, he got back into his car and took off, police said.
Denver officers caught up to him and arrested him on the 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 during the past few months.
