Virginia man charged with impersonating a police officer at a police station

Police in Prince William County, Virginia, have arrested a man who they say was trying to pass himself off as a cop. And he picked the one place his story was least likely to fly: at a police station. Officers said the man, later identified as Matthew Bailey Thompson, 45, of Manassas, showed up at the gate to a secure parking lot at their central police station on Davis Ford Road in Woodbridge around 7 p.m. Wednesday. He tried to get into the lot by telling them that he was an officer, too.
