Florida Man Arrested for Posing as Cop; Second Arrest for False Impersonation as Police Officer

Police say a 53-year-old man from Miami Beach was caught Tuesday after he pretended to be a police officer while carrying a gun in a hotel.

The event was reported at the Moxy Hotel in Miami Beach at 915 Washington Ave. just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

A hotel security guard saw Enrique Amores De Los Reyes coming into the hotel as if he needed to use the bathroom, but he stayed on the property for a long time, according to the suspect’s arrest report.

Police say the security guard went up to De Los Reyes and asked him what he wanted to do.

The report says that De Los Reyes had a black handgun in a holster on his waistband and a silver police tag on his polo shirt.

The police report said he told the security guard that he was looking for two hotel rooms where the girl he was after might be staying because she “is a murderer and I am here to collect.”

The report says that both of the rooms he asked about were empty at the time.

When the police arrived, the security guard told them where De Los Reyes was because he was still in the back of the property.

Police said De Los Reyes tried to hide the fake police badge when he saw officers coming up behind him.

According to the report, when the police asked De Los Reyes why he had a gun on his person, he said, “I want to be like you.”

According to the police report, the gun was an airsoft pistol with a clip that was full but no bullets.

Police say that one of the officers asked De Los Reyes if he was a police officer. De Los Reyes replied, “Yes, I want to be a police officer like you.”

The report says that De Los Reyes could not show any identification from the police and was also discovered with metal handcuffs on the right side of his waistband.

He was charged with one count of pretending to be a police officer.

The police report says they found the silver badge in his pants pocket. It said “police officer,” “integrity,” “justice,” and “honor.”
