just to reiterate, this just happened within the last couple of days 3 hours north up I-49 from Lafayette. someone in shreveport tried this with a woman but she was smart enough to stay in her car and demand to see his id. when his plan didnt work he drove off. very scary to imagine what could have happened. if mickey were"pulled over" by a police impersonator , would she have taken a ride from a cop that accidentally nudged her tire?
Wouldn't even need a nudge. A fake cop could stop her for DUI and fake arrest her. Take the bike with them. And the damage to the bike could have come from being tossed in the river. This would explain why the perp took the bike... To better sell his story of arresting Mickey.
Or he could have stopped her and asked questions like are you carrying anything illegal or something I should know about? Mickey gets scared and tells him a pipe. He then fake arrests her.
Just tossing out scenarios.
