Phony cop blames “senior moment” for stopping real cops

JOHN-ARTHUR-BENEDICT

Andy11M sends us a link to the Huffington Post which tells of John Arthur Benedict who blames a “senior moment” for pulling over a pair of real police detectives with his Crown Vic which was equipped with strobe and flashing lights, in Lee County, Florida;

The officers drove a white, unmarked SUV that Benedict later claimed he saw speeding. Police said that the fake cop drove a Crown Victoria with strobe lights and a “police interceptor” emblem on it. From afar the cruiser looked legit, so the driver of the undercover vehicle pulled over.

[…]

Benedict later described the incident as a “senior moment,” and said he’d never done anything like that before. However, the man’s son admitted his dad had impersonated a cop before, turning on the strobe lights to direct traffic at accident scenes in Lee and Harris counties, according to the police report.

A neighbor told WBBH that Benedict’s car had him fooled.

“I definitely thought it was real and he might be a cop,” Jack Deraps told the station.

I wonder if Benedict is also a member of MESNA [sic].

Dennis - not chevy

Back in November, I was driving across Texas on I-10 at the posted 80 MPH when I noticed what appeared to be an unmarked police car in my mirror. I continued on my way and speed. The driver of the other car apparently got bored and passed me at a high speed. I saw this same car more than once again. At a truck stop, I talked with other folks who had noticed the same car and driver. A couple minutes after the truck stop I saw the apparent unmarked police car pulled over by the real police.
This left me to wonder what chevy was doing in November.
Oh, and for what it’s worth, in case I have ruffled the DRG’s feathers, I do not live in Texas.

Chip. We had a Ding Dong in a area called Anthem that was going around Copping trees claiming to be a cop. When confronted by a retired Cop the Dumb Shit tried to pull something that the other guy thought was a gun. By this time the real cops showed up and dumb ass had received the first half of a Love-Tap they missed his head :(. To bad for him 🙂

Eenee peeny perhaps.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

My dad is 75, mentally incompetent, and in a nursing home – and even HE knows better than to pull stunts like this.

If someone really is that retarded, they should be in the same care facility my dad is in, so the old man can give him some pointers on how to behave.

Dad the Creepy Dude needs his Crown Vic — and his keys — taken away from him. He’s a stalker, pure and simple. He’s found a way to get close to his prey, and he needs to be corralled before he ‘disappears’ some pretty teenage girl.

We had some guy do that back when I was in high school. The problem was he was really a CHP officer named Craig Peyer. After he murdered a 20 year old girl named Cara Knott. He killed her while on duty. Being California the piece of crap got 25 to life instead of the needle he so richly deserved. He still claims he was innocent, but when a group asked him for a DNA sample so they could get him freed he refused. Lack of remorse is why he’s been turned down for parole several times. Her younger brother and I knew each other from mutual friends.

Is he anywhere near Monkress or workinging part time for him? bwahahaha!

Don’t think so. Google Maps says that Lee County is the Florida county where Coral Gables is located.

Along with Fort Myers.

APL could be expanding…..

Mr. Blue

Could be working with a certain Not-a-CPO…

He is pretty close to the claimed new home of a catheter addicted, legally challenged, incompetent pilot, wanna be lawyer. Perhaps he was working as the chauffer/security detail for a pukey purple suited skydiver, that, thanks to gravity, never misses his target.

“Benedict … said he’d never done anything like that before.” That’s good enough for me. Plus, he has such a sweet, honest face.

Well, then, we’ve got some very special investments that you would probably be interested in hearing about. Uh-huh.

I wonder if “I had a senior moment” will become the new “I was wearing it to honor my insert relatives name here”

It’s called “ImRetiredDumbAndLiveInSunnYFloridaWithNothingBetterToDoDisease.”
