Citizen’s Arrest
Wilbur Grady was washing his car in his driveway in Kinston, N.C., when a neighbor stopped by. Reginald Suggs, 49, “walked up in my yard and said he was an undercover agent,” Grady said. “He told me I was under arrest. I told him to get out of my yard.” But Suggs rushed him, he said, brandishing a handgun, and handcuffed him. Suggs then made him get into Grady’s own car, drove him to the county jail, and presented him to the magistrate on duty, outlining a variety of charges. The magistrate, seeing Suggs was not a cop, called police, who arrested him on kidnaping, assault, and weapons charges. (Kinston Free Press) ...But notice they didn’t say anything about him impersonating a police officer.
