Man Arrested for Impersonating Officer

An officer responding to a domestic incident in the early morning hours of April 6 arrested a Detroit man for impersonating a police officer, a  report states.

After police responded to the 3000 block of Winchester, where the man, Marshall Dixon Bey, 48, and his girlfriend had been in dispute, Bey produced a wallet and badge for identification that indicated he is an enforcement officer for the Michigan Court of Appeals, first district, with a rank of lieutenant, Lt. Tim Diamond said.

The officer had met Bey months earlier on a call and noted his identification as "strange," Diamond said. Upon investigation, the officer found the identification to be outdated by more than 10 years.

Bey was detained, Diamond said, then arrested on a charge of carrying and presenting the badge and wallet as identification. That charge carries a maximum sentence of 93 days in the Oakland County Jail, where Bey was being held on $25,000 cash bond.
