Woman charged with mischief after telling police she was stopped by a man posing as an officer

A Niagara Falls resident has been arrested for mischief.

On Monday night, police received a call about a man posing as a police officer on Drummond Road near Prospect Street.

The caller told police that a black vehicle activated emergency lights and conducted a traffic stop.

Investigators say security footage was received by nearby residents and businesses.

The complainant was interviewed a second time yesterday, at which time officers determined the story was fabricated.

Facing charges is 21 year old Emily Celeste Bojcic.

She has been released on a Form 9 Appearance Notice and will appear in court on May 10th.
