Texas DPS Seeks Victims of Alleged Police Impersonator on U.S. 190

Vehicle and clothing details are the primary leads investigators are using to identify the person and gather tips.

Overview

  • The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating reports that a person posing as an officer pulled over motorists on U.S. 190 in Walker, San Jacinto and Polk counties.
  • Authorities say the alleged impersonator drove an unmarked black 2022 Jeep Gladiator and wore civilian clothing during the stops.
  • The state has not released a suspect name or made any arrests and it remains unclear how many stops occurred or when they took place.
  • The DPS announced Monday that anyone who was pulled over by someone matching this description should contact the Conroe DPS Criminal Investigations Division at (346) 260-9824 or email Luke.Williams@dps.texas.gov.
  • Police impersonation probes typically depend on witness reports and vehicle details, so investigators are asking local drivers to check dashcam footage and report any related encounters to help identify the suspect.
