Stupid Criminals still equals quick arrest, just ask Cole Woodworth.

Cole Woodworth, 20, has been charged with impersonating a police officer.







Woodworth elected to skip “get a job as a cop” before he decided to start working traffic enforcement.

Woodworth was able to install red and blue flashing LED lights in his car and he managed to get a car pulled over in the intersection of MLK and 94th Ave N.

Woodworth allegedly took the victims drivers license and registration and then all of the sudden a real off duty St. Petersburg Police Officer drove by and did not recognize Woodworth or the car he was in.

So the real Off Duty Officer stopped and detained Woodworth at the scene until back up arrived.

Woodworth is in the US Air Force and works as an air traffic controller trainee at MacDill Air Force Base.

Woodworth is married and lives in St. Petersburg. Who knows why he would have the need to install red and blue LED lights in his car and pull people over.

Oh well stupid criminals do equal quick arrest.

Woodworth was charged with the following

1) FALSELY PERSONATING AN OFFICER
2) PROHIBITED USE OF CERTAIN LIGHTS
3) VOP DUI
4) RESISTING AN OFFICER W/O VIOL (OBSTRUCTION)

Now I don’t know what would be worse being arrested of having all of my tattoo information posted on line. They were pretty funny.

Anyway, on 4/15/09, Woodworth was charged with DUI hence the VOP charge on the night of 12/6/2009 when he elected to start working as a cop for St. Petersburg…

Maybe police cars should have a warning, “Don’t Try This at Home”
