Alleged fake cop asks teen to take urine test

PENSACOLA, Fla. — Authorities said they have arrested a 30-year-old Pensacola man for impersonating a law enforcement officer. According to a sheriff’s office news release, Michael Gainey was arrested after he approached teenagers in a convenience store parking lot and said he was a deputy. He allegedly searched at least at least one teen and told another to take a urine test.

Gainey didn’t show the teens a badge but they believed he was a law enforcement officer.

Gainey faces charges of battery, burglary of the vehicle, fraud-impersonation of a law enforcement officer during the commission of a felony, marijuana possessing and possession of narcotic equipment. He was jailed on $54,000 bond. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
