@Copwatchtv is following up on a video we posted of a man named Corey King who is was under investigation and charged by New Mexico State Police as impersonating a police officer. Original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45CTe35JWsY
During the reviewing of the probable cause affidavit we found an incident that happened in Roswell, NM in Chaves County on the early hours of April 11th, 2020. Allegedly, King did a traffic stop on a car because he thought they were drunk driving. Chaves County Deputies responded to the incident and interviewed King and the victim. King had his 2014 Ford Explorer with his lights on in the middle of the road.
King said he texted and called a Chaves County Deputy on her personal cell phone. He followed the the driver to his residence. The victim thought he was a sheriff officer. It was not till the investigation of the scene was complete the victim found out King was not a sworn officer.
King’s trial is pending and he is facing:
4 counts of Impersonating a Peace Officer
2 counts of Reckless Driving
The TV station King worked for immediately fired him. His trial is pending.
