FREDERICK, MARYLAND — On Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at approximately 9:09 pm, Dep Constantine was on routine patrol in the Ballenger Creek area of Frederick County when he observed a yellow Ford Mustang bearing a Maryland license tag traveling in the Hannover development with blue LED lights flashing from the dashboard and front windshield of the vehicle. The mustang also did not have a front license tag attached which is required in the State of Maryland.<\/p>\n
DEP Constantine activated his emergency lights and pulled over the vehicle in the Ballenger Creek Plaza parking lot.<\/p>\n
The driver of the vehicle identified as, Miguel Angel Ralda W\/M\/ 29 of Frederick, immediately identified himself as a police officer and displayed an ID card to DEP Constantine. The ID card turned out to be just a business card and not an official law enforcement ID. DEP Constantine had just been briefed, earlier in the shift, about a report of a Police Impersonator operating in his patrol area. DEP Constantine believed he was dealing with that individual.<\/p>\n
Additional questioning and information developed through the course of the traffic stop, lead DEP Constantine to physically arrest Ralda for Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer. A search of the vehicle revealed several police related items to include handcuffs, Velcro police patches, and several badges. Additionally, 3 handguns, a tactical rifle, several loaded magazines and additional loose ammunition were located in the trunk of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
All items were seized.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ralda was questioned further and admitted he was not a police officer but nothing further. Ralda was transported to Central booking and charged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
