A Sulphur woman who filed a complaint about being pulled over by a man pretending to be a law enforcement officer has been charged with criminal mischief for giving a false report or complaint.
Sulphur Police Major Jason Gully said their office received a complaint on Aug. 17 from Diondra Evans Daniels.
Gully said surveillance video from where the traffic stop occurred verifies Daniel was pulled over by an unmarked Louisiana State Police unit. Gully said Louisiana State Police Troop D confirmed the traffic stop did occur.
Body and dash cam footage of the traffic stop verifies most of the details in Daniel’s statement were false, Gully said.
Daniel has been charged by the district attorney’s office with criminal mischief. She was issued a misdemeanor summons on Aug. 24.
