Two men were arrested after one of them pretended to be a police officer and forced himself into a Lawrenceville home, scaring children who were present at the time.
One of the men, who work for a bail bond company, knocked on the door of the Lawrenceville home wearing a badge, vest and police belt. According to Channel 2 Action News, he claimed to be a part of a fugitive task force. When the door was opened by an 11-year-old, one of them put his foot in the door frame and forced his way inside. There were other young children inside and the mother told news sources the kids were all terrified.
The home had security cameras showing the second man was behind the house with a gun drawn.
The homeowner, Regina Johnson, called police when the man pushed his way inside. Police arrested both men when they arrived. They were both charged with trespassing and one of them, identified as Omar Lee, was charged with impersonating an officer.
Johnson told media that the men were looking for her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. However, the man doesn’t live at the home.
Lee was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.
