REVERE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Authorities say a Revere man is facing charges of impersonating a police officer.
43-year-old Byron Boisseau was arraigned Wednesday in Chelsea District Court on charges including impersonating a police officer, carrying a dangerous weapon, and attaching non-compliant aftermarket lighting.
Massachusetts State Police say Sunday night around 8 o’clock, troopers responded to a report of a man who was operating an unmarked white Crown Victoria with flashing yellow lights forcing other vehicles off the road in the area of Revere Beach Boulevard.
Police located Boisseau, and when they pulled him over, police said he had a black hat with “SECURITY” printed on it and he was wearing a shirt that said the same thing.
Police said he had imitation weapons and police-style equipment including black handcuffs, a small black flashlight, a canister of pepper spray, two handcuff keys, and an alcohol breathalyzer test kit.
Boisseau was arrested, booked, then released on bail.
Police say they are continuing their investigation.
