A Holbrook man accused of pretending to be a cop could now face some real prison time.
Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota says Henry Terry impersonated a police officer on several occasions. Spota claims Terry pulled over drivers for apparent traffic violations and other crimes, and ticketed them. Terry allegedly collected money on the spot as fines. According to Spota, Terry used an unmarked car with a siren, police badges and handcuffs in his ruse.
Terry has previously served time behind bars for impersonating a police officer. Spota says Terry acquired the uniforms and badges from the Internet.
