TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — Travis County Sheriff’s Office arrested a former Chicago police officer Wednesday, alleging that the man had claimed to be an undercover federal agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency before assaulting an person, according to an arrest warrant.
According to the warrant, a county resident contacted TCSO on Tuesday to report that their son was assaulted by a “person claiming to be a peace officer” on Monday. The victim was at a smoke shop on FM 2222 when a man approached him and demanded his ID. When the man took the victim’s ID, he claimed to be a cop and asked if the address was correct.
The victim returned home, where he again encountered the “cop” — who now claimed to be an undercover DEA agent surveilling the victim’s home, according to the warrant. The “DEA agent” then took the victim’s hat, necklace and wallet before making him sit in the back of his car, a grey Tesla.
The victim’s father allowed the “DEA agent” into his home, where the “agent” allegedly identified himself as Dimitri Roberts, according to the warrant.
