Teen girl pulled over by fake officer

Posted: Updated:

Lincoln police want to warn you about a man who is impersonating an officer.

Police Officer Katie Flood says a 17-year-old girl was pulled over near Yankee Hill and 70th by a man wearing what looked like a police uniform.

Flood says after getting her license and registration, the victim noticed he had unbuttoned his shirt. She told police he said, "Sorry, I was just practicing for the movie Magic Mike".. a current movie about male strippers.

"We encourage people to drive to a place that is well populated. Maybe a Kwik Shop, somewhere that is well lit. Just to be sure that it is a police officer," says Officer Flood.

The girl got away unharmed.
