Andy11M Sends us a link to an odd story about Derek Saxton, a Chicago police officer<\/a> despite the fact that he’d been arrested eight years ago for impersonating a police officer. Well, now he is a cop, for four years now, but, apparently, he’s equipped his personal vehicle with all of the bells and whistles of a police car and Skokie, Illinois police arrested him for impersonating a police officer.<\/p>\n

Interim Chicago Police Supt. John Escalante launched an investigation last week to determine whether the 35-year-old officer violated state law and department policy by driving the car. The superintendent put him on desk duty on Friday and is considering stripping Saxton of his police powers during the investigation, said Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the police department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very serious allegation, a very serious investigation and we have many questions for the individuals involved,\u201d Guglielmi said.<\/p>\n

Saxton didn\u2019t return a call seeking comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
