Repeat cop impersonator to be sentenced next month

Fifty-seven-year-old repeat police impersonator, Derrick Thompson, yesterday pleaded guilty to obtaining money by false pretence, and impersonating a police officer when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

On January 14, Thompson, who was on bail for the same offence, was spotted by detectives from MOCA interviewing a motorist of Dukharan Avenue, Kingston 10.

Following checks, it was revealed that Thompson was warning the motorist for prosecution for breaches of the Road Traffic Act. Investigations also revealed that Thompson fleeced two other motorists of sums of money earlier that day. He was immediately arrested and charged.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, May 22, in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate Court.
