| Robert Thomas Blackwell Jr. |
Anniston police have charged a man with felony charges of
attempting to pass himself off as a police officer.
31 year old Robert Thomas Blackwell Jr. has
been charged with a felony charge of impersonating a peace officer. An Anniston
police lt. observed Blackwell walking down Wilmer Avenue with an Anniston
police badge on his belt. The lieutenant didn’t recognize Blackwell, so he
stopped his vehicle and went to go talk to him. The badge Blackwell had on him
was not an official Anniston police badge, but rather a small replica badge
officers usually wear on their jackets. He said that when Blackwell told the
lieutenant he was employed with the Police Department, the lieutenant knew he
was lying and arrested him. Blackwell resisted arrest by refusing to give the
lieutenant his hands. Blackwell had a pair of handcuffs on him at the time of
his arrest, but he was not armed.
