A Colorado Springs man who was already on a deferred sentence as of early 2010 for impersonating a police officer was arrested Saturday for suspicion of the same crime.
Jason Doorenbos-Parry, 25, was sentenced in March 2010 to two years of unsupervised probation and 100 hours of community service.
In November 2010, police began another investigation into complaints that Doorenbos-Parry was following and stopping drivers for traffic violations, contacting and “citing” people for trespassing, and making “citizen’s arrests” at various locations around Colorado Springs, according to Colorado Springs police.
Officers obtained search warrants Friday and executed them Saturday morning.
Police searched Doorenbos-Parry’s home and vehicle and then arrested him.
Doorenbos-Parry is suspected of operating an unlicensed security company within city limits.
He was not licensed as a security officer and was carrying equipment without proper certifications. The business locations he was patrolling had not given him permission or contracts to do so.
The man is currently in custody on charges of possession of weapons by a previous offender and impersonation of a peace officer.
Colorado Springs police believe many of the people who may have been stopped by Doorenbos-Parry have not come forward.
