Graham Police Department
Media Release
Recently, a community member reported a concerning incident that took place on I-40 after leaving Mebane. The white Kia (pictured above) with California plates began following her closely, tailgating, swerving, and attempting to force her to stop. The vehicle activated flashing green lights, and the driver described as an older white male, falsely claimed to be a police officer while waving a badge.
Fortunately, the woman was not injured, and the vehicle fled toward Greensboro.
Here are some tips to ensure your safety if you believe you're being pulled over by a police officer:
-Stay Calm: If you see flashing lights behind you, remain calm and acknowledge the officer by turning on your hazard lights.
-Find a Safe Spot: Continue driving at a safe speed until you can pull over in a well-lit, populated area.
-Verify the Officer: Legitimate police vehicles typically have blue and/or red flashing lights. Green lights are not used by law enforcement.
-Call 911: If you're unsure whether the person pulling you over is a real officer, call 911. Provide the dispatcher with your location and the vehicle description. They can confirm if it's a legitimate stop.
-Stay in Your Car: Keep your doors locked and only lower your window slightly to communicate with the officer. Ask to see their identification and badge.
-Trust Your Instincts: If something doesn't feel right, stay in your vehicle and call for help.
