Man allegedly posed as sheriff's deputy

REIDSVILLE, N.C. (UPI) -- Rockingham County, N.C., authorities said a man was arrested after he posed as a sheriff's deputy while dealing with a store clerk who was an off-duty deputy.

The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office alleged Kevin Michael Taylor, 31, asked for a law enforcement discount from a clerk at an AutoZone store, the News and Record newspaper in Greensboro, N.C., reported.

Taylor allegedly showed the clerk a Rockingham Community College identification card from a Basic Law Enforcement Training course and claimed to work in the patrol division of the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office.

However, the clerk was an off-duty sheriff's deputy and knew the man was lying, the sheriff's office said.

Taylor, who was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, was released on $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court May 15.
