Authorities in Boca Raton, Florida arrested 21-year-old Rachel Lyndsee Otto for impersonating a sheriff's deputy and conducting traffic stop. Otto was also charged of placing her victim on handcuffs.
Otto pretended to be an off-duty officer for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office when she arrested a man for alleged road rage. She even asked a community service officer to call for back up.
But the back up officer from the Baco Raton police officer recognized Otto and remembered her nine previous arrests since 2004. She was eventually put under arrest and charged for impersonating a deputy and false arrest.
She told investigators she was just making a citizen's arrest.
Otto was arrested with another woman sitting on the passenger side of her car, who claims to be living with her for the past week. The woman said she thought Otto was a man.
The passenger told officers Otto became angry with the man she was arresting after the man cut her off.
Otto, who was dressed in Army camouflage, handcuffed victim Michael Mellin, 20. She was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail, where she was being held without bond.
