A Trinity, FL., man was arrested after he claimed to be a police officer in order to get a discount on his donut order; going as far as flashing his holstered pistol to the worker for 'proof' that he was a cop.
According to MySunCoast, deputies say 48-year-old Charles "Chuck" Barry went to the drive-thru of a Trinity Dunkin' Donuts last week, and after identifying himself as law enforcement, asked for a discount on his order of donuts.
When the clerk refused to give him the discount, Barry allegedly held up a gun -- still in its holster -- and said, "See, I'm a cop!" The witness told investigators Barry never pointed the gun at him or took it out of its holster.
The next day he went through the drive-thru again and the manager took down his license plate tag.
A traffic stop was conducted and while speaking with Barry the deputy observed he had a law enforcement badge in his wallet. He was also carrying a .38 caliber revolver in his front pocket. He was positively identified by store personnel and arrested on above mentioned charges.
Barry was charged with impersonating a law Enforcement Officer and Improper Exhibition of a Firearm.
