Lopez allegedly tried to solicit funds from GS Com by pretending to be a police officer, was charged with unlawful possession of accoutrement when he appeared today in the #5 Magistrate's Court.

According to police reports, on Thursday, November 18, Lopez went to GS COM at #8 Baymen Avenue and asked the sales representative, Ms Ramos, several questions while writing the answers in a notebook that was issued to him while he was a special constable.

Ms. Ramos became suspicious and she told her boss who called the police. Lopez said he was trying to get donations for a death in his family.

Lopez pleaded guilty to the charge but Magistrate Herbert Hoare entered an equivocal plea of not guilty because Lopez didn't entirely agree with the facts.
