The Portland woman walked around for an entire year with a badge she thought was real, going on fake ride-alongs, and developing “confidential informants,” the feds said
A Portland woman was duped into believing she was a DEA agent-in-training for an entire year, walking around with a badge she thought was real, going on fake ride-alongs, and developing “confidential informants” at her phony supervisor’s behest., which accuses 41-year-old Robert Edward Golden of impersonating a Drug Enforcement Administration special agent while convincing his “trainee” she was actually on the job.
While the sergeant was speaking with Golden, he said he noticed the bottom of a holster peeking out from under Golden’s jacket, according to the filing. As he “removed what appeared to be a firearm but was later determined to be a replica ,” Golden told the woman to show the sergeant “her credentials.” She then flashed a badge and ID card purporting to be issued by the DEA.
Portland police drove the pair to the local DEA office, and transferred custody over to them. After agents read him his rights, Golden tried to explain things away by claiming he and his sidekick were “into ‘cosplay,’” which accounted for all the police equipment. The woman also said that Golden has “taken her on ‘ride-a-longs’ [sic] at night for surveillance and taken her practice shooting, and said Golden claimed he had to put someone into handcuffs on his way into work.”
