Authorities in southern Minnesota are looking for a man who impersonated a police officer over the weekend.
On Saturday, a man was parked in a lot off Interstate 35 near Ellendale, when a Dodge Durango pulled up. The man said the person identified himself as an "Iowa deputy" and left before law enforcement arrived, according to the Freeborn County Sheriff's Office. The man described the person as about 30 years old, with a medium build and dark hair. About 90 minutes later and two miles south, someone reported seeing the same SUV with lights flashing and a car pulled over, the Sheriff's Office said.
Anyone with information can call 1-507-377-5200.
