LYON COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a report of alleged impersonating an officer.
Just after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, a silver passenger car was reported to be using red and blue lights inside their vehicle to pull over other vehicles, according to Lyon County Detective Sergeant Jacob Welsh.
After the vehicles were pulled over the suspect vehicle drove around them and then left the area.
This happened on 2 occasions between Olpe and Emporia on K-99. The suspect did not make contact with the occupants of the vehicles, according to Welsh. The vehicle was last seen southbound toward Olpe.
Two suspects came to the sheriff’s office and identified themselves as responsible for impersonating a police officer, according to Welsh.
They are identified as Joseph Hawes, 18, Emporia, and an unidentified 17-year-old juvenile, also from Emporia.
Formal charges are pending through the Lyon County Attorney’s Office.
