Fake 'officer' gets one-month jail in Fujairah

A court in Dibba Fujeirah sentenced a local man to one month in jail on charges of posing as a police officer in a bid to have his impounded car released.

When police asked the man to show his ID at the car impounding area, he told them he is a lieutenant at the counter-drugs department in Fujeirah police.

“He refused to show them his ID, prompting police to insist on seeing his card…when they saw it, they found that the man is not in the police force,” Alkhaleej daily said.

It said the court sentenced him to one month in prison on charges of impersonating a public figure.
