Suspect: Cusumano, Anthony, W/M, DOB: 04/16/84, 1404 E. Chelsea St.
Charges: Falsely Personating a Police Officer
Tampa Police Officers arrested Anthony Cusumano, Monday, at the Ballast Point Pier on charges for attempting to impersonate a police officer.
Officers responded to a call that the suspect identified himself as a police officer by flashing his badge and ID. He said that he was investigating several sexual offenses and tried to lure the victims to get in his vehicle, which prompted them to call Tampa Police.
Police officers discovered that Cusumano was a paramedic in Pinellas County and graduated from the Police Academy at Hillsborough Community College, but was not employed by any police agency. Officers searched his vehicle and uncovered a siren, PA system, and red/white emergency lights in the front and rear of the car. Tampa Police also found an Hillsborough County Sheriff’s badge, two sets of handcuffs, a bullet proof vest, .40 caliber handgun, two 9mm glock magazines, and two gun belts.
Tampa Police Officers impounded Cusumano’s car, confiscated his police equipment as evidence, and transported him to the Hillsborough County Jail.

Dang, what a fool. If I was going to impersonate a city employee, I would impersonate a Code Manager.
ReplyDeleteCollect a guaranteed paycheck and not have to do anything!
those plucked eye brows and those zits would have kept me far away from his vehicle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary, scary world. We teach our children to seek out a police officer if they are in need! How are they to know the difference if a guy has a siren and badge at his disposal?
