Earlier this week Suffolk County Police arrested a New York man for impersonating an officer but that isn't all he was doing.

A female motorist complained that not only was she stopped by this imposter, during the stop the man obtained the victim’s personal cell phone number. Shortly thereafter, the man contacted the victim and requested that she send him nude photographs of herself.

On the evening of February 8th, the suspect was attempting to meet one of his victims. That is when officers intercepted the meeting and arrested David Olivari. Olivari was driving a 2007 Toyota Prius with a dashboard mounted flashing light similar to the vehicle reported in previous reports.

  • Criminal Impersonation 1st Degree
  • Criminal Impersonation 2nd Degree
  • Grand Larceny 4th Degree
  • 2 counts of Unlawful Imprisonment 2nd Degree
  • Unauthorized Use of a Computer
