Pretend Police Will Stand Trial In Supreme Court
posted (March 28, 2012)
We called him the pretend-police, 23 year-old Aaron Wilson who was allegedly impersonating a cop in mid 2010. After several months in the Magistrate's Court, the preliminary inquiry finished today, and it was determined that he will stand trial in the Supreme Court.

Wilson has to answer to the charges of forgery of an official document, possession of a false official document, unlawful possession of Police Department accoutrements, and possession of imitation official documents.

After several of the police statements were read out in court today, Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith ruled that there is enough evidence for the Supreme Court to hear the case properly.

Wilson's attorney, Arthur Saldivar, attempted to fight the case by pointing out that the original case file has been missing since September of last year, and that the prosecution is depending on copies.

Chief Magistrate Smith did not accept this as a reason to dismiss the case, and she committed the case to be heard in the April sessions of the Supreme Court.

As we reported in June 2010, Wilson was found with Police Department uniform and other official items which he allegedly used to impersonate a police officer.

The prosecution has 23 statements in its possession.
