Teen Cop Impersonator Heads To Juvy

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Mar 3, 2010 8:30PM

The teen who captivated us last year when he was arrested for fooling everyone - including Chicago Police officers - when he impersonated a cop is going to juvenile hall. But it's not for the impersonation incident but rather for a domestic incident and a case in which he hoodwinked a car salesman into letting him test drive a car, taking it for a joyride. Judge Paul Stralka sentenced the 15-year-old teen to juvenile prison until he's 21, though he could be released sooner. Stralka also noted that the teen is bipolar.
