The Daviess County Sheriff's Office and Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop H are asking for the public's help in locating a police officer impersonator.

Authorities say a white male wearing a law enforcement-like uniform was seen Tuesday morning driving a black Dodge Charger with police markings on it near Gallatin.

The vehicle's driver apparently stopped a citizen on Missouri Highway 6 and issued the citizen citations from New York state.

Authorities say there was also a white cargo-style van near the traffic stop that may have been working in conjunction with the impersonator.

The Daviess County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation. Anyone with relevant information should call the sheriff's office at 660-663-2031.
