INDIANAPOLIS -- Police say they found handcuffs, zip ties and a CB radio inside the truck of a man accused of pulling a woman over and pretending to be a police officer.
IMPD officers were dispatched around 2:20 a.m. Thursday to a report of a suspicious person on the 1400 block of West Washington Street.
The caller told police he saw a man, later identified as 22-year-old Cameron Wild, pull over a woman on a moped. Wild was reportedly driving a pickup truck with a blue light in the windshield at the time.
The woman told police Wild approached her moped and identified himself as an off-duty police officer. He reportedly said he was stopping her because her moped did not have a license plate.
Wild then reportedly asks the woman for her driver's license, the last four digits of her Social Security Number and her date of birth.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed Monday, Wild walked back to his truck with the woman's information, then returned about a minute later and told her to take her moped home. He reportedly said he works on the west side of town and that if he saw her moped out again without a plate he would have it impounded.
Police learned the license plate on the truck seen by the caller was registered to Wild.
In an interview with police, Wild reportedly claimed initially that he pulled the woman over because she cut him off. Police said he later admitted, "I shouldn't have done it and I was wrong, I know that."
During a search of his vehicle, police reportedly found a CB radio, military helmet and handcuffs. They also found zip ties underneath the driver's seat. The truck had a "thin blue line" license plate on the front and thin blue line sticker on the back.
Wild was taken to the Marion County Arrestee Processing Center on preliminary charges of impersonating a public servant and criminal confinement.
He was released Friday on a $250 cash bond.
