A 51-year-old Detroit man was arrested for impersonating an officer after police said he interfered with a prostitution sting.

Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon said in a release Wednesday that the man pulled alongside an undercover female officer on Detroit's east side, flashed a badge and yelled "get off the street."

Another man who believed he was speaking with a prostitute drove away.

Napoleon said the suspect continued to follow his deputy, but sped off when she told him she was an officer.

He was stopped and arrested by other deputies who found a loaded .40-caliber handgun, a Detroit police badge, hats and other clothing with police logos in his pickup.
