COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) says they arrested a woman who was allegedly trying to enter homes by pretending to be an officer.
According to police, officers were called out on a burglary call in the 1400 block of Bowser Drive early Wednesday morning.
CSPD says the suspect, now identified as Adrianna Wallmueller, was posing as a police officer. The department says while she was not dressed as an officer, she was announcing herself as one to try and get people to open their doors.
Officers say they arrived and were able to arrest her. However, once in custody, police allege that she assaulted an officer.
The department says that the officer had minor injuries from Wallmueller. She was charged with impersonating a police officer and 2nd Degree Assault of a peace officer.
CSPD says that if someone approaches your door and you’re not sure if they are officers, you can call the non-emergency line to verify.
