A Florida man has been arrested for impersonating a law enforcement officer to get discounts at a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.

Pasco County deputies arrested Charles Barry for using a fake badge and flashing a firearm twice at Dunkin’ Donuts employees in Trinity, a local Fox News affiliate reported.

During the first incident last week, an employee told their manager about the strange man. Mr. Barry tried to pull the same stunt again the next day, but the manager got his license plate number from surveillance video.



It’s unclear where Mr. Barry got his badge, but it was confiscated by police, the station reported.

He was charged with false impersonation of a law enforcement officer and improper exhibition of a firearm.
