A South Florida woman was arrested after authorities said she posed as an officer to her Oakland Park neighbors.<\/p>\n
Annie Bryn Flaherty, 37, was arrested Saturday by the Broward Sheriff’s Office on a charge of impersonating a law enforcement officer, an arrest report.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Flaherty is accused of posing as an officer to her neighbors in the 5800 block of Northeast 6th Terrace.<\/p>\n
Two residents said they received a Ring notification and saw Flaherty, their next door neighbor, standing at their front door displaying what appeared to be a police-style badge on her hip, the report said.<\/p>\n
They said she knocked on their door and identified herself as “Miami-Dade Police,” and said she was investigating three stolen diamonds and looking for someone named Eva, the report said.<\/p>\n
They said they told Flaherty they didn’t know about any stolen property or anyone named Eva, and Flaherty said she would get a search warrant, the report said.<\/p>\n
Flaherty then went to another address and knocked on the door, and the woman who lives there said she opened the door and saw Flaherty wearing what appeared to be a badge on her hip, the report said.<\/p>\n
The woman said Flaherty identified herself as being with law enforcement and inquired about three stolen diamonds, the report said.<\/p>\n
Investigators met with Flaherty, who produced the badge described as a Miami-Dade Corrections Officer LIV Super Bowl edition badge, the report said.<\/p>\n
She was arrested and booked into jail.<\/p>\n
Flaherty was listed in the arrest report as working as a flight attendant for Spirit Airlines, but a spokesperson for Spirit said Tuesday that she is a former employee whose employment with Spirit ended several years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A South Florida woman was arrested after authorities said she posed as an officer to her Oakland Park…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[30676,143,145,144,30694],"class_list":{"0":"post-256743","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oakland","8":"tag-broward-county","9":"tag-oakland","10":"tag-oakland-headlines","11":"tag-oakland-news","12":"tag-oakland-park"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
