Possible Police Impersonator in Custody

December 31, 2010 |

Clarksville, TN – On December 31st, 2010, around 9:30pm, Aaron Richard Will was taken into custody by Officer Jeff Danault for Criminal Impersonation of a Police Officer.

Criminal Impersonation in this particular situation constitutes a Class A Misdemeanor.

On December 29th, 2010, around 1:00pm, a Clarksville police officer, Jeff Danault, was off-duty and in his personal vehicle driving on Wilma Rudolph Blvd. when a white Crown Victoria approached from the rear at a high rate of speed and started to tailgate him, almost rear-ending Danault’s vehicle.

Denault had to stop at a red-light and the vehicle was behind him. The man inside was making hand gestures and activated what sounded like a PA system in what Danault construed as an effort to get him to pull over.
