Timothy Stafford
Stafford is charged with two counts of impersonating a law enforcement officer and two counts of second degree kidnapping after individuals in their vehicle felt they could not leave the area during the incident, according to a news release.
Deputies say they responded to a complaint that an individual was approached in a parking lot by a man who presented a badge and claimed to be a Sheriffs Deputy on Tuesday, December 29th around 9:30 p.m. near the Wittenburg Wildlife Access of Shiloh Church Road.
Detectives say Stafford claimed to be on duty as part of a stake out operation with others watching the area from the woods, when he approached a car with two individuals, and warned them there had been break ins in the area.
