SACRAMENTO, CA - A West Sacramento man will be arraigned Thursday morning in a Sacramento courtroom on a charge of impersonating a peace officer.
Deputies began investigating Frank Don Crandall, 56, in September after a crash at Sacramento International Airport. Investigators say Crandall hit an airport employee with his vehicle and then took off, according to a sheriff's department news release.
When officers tracked Crandall down, he presented identification that claimed he was a full-time peace officer with LEPSA, the Law Enforcement and Public Safety Authority, supposedly a private California public safety agency, said spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran.
Officers cited Crandall on a charge of reckless driving causing injury and then tried to verify his law enforcement credentials. After a lengthy investigation, "deputies determined Crandall lacked proper training and certification and had no authority to act as or identify himself as a peace officer," Curran said.
Crandall was arrested on Nov. 10 on additional charges, including a misdemeanor count of impersonating peace officer and a felony charge of forging a state seal.
His arraignment is at 10:30 a.m.
