Man accused of impersonating cop

DANNEMORA — Authorities say a northern New York man charged with impersonating a police officer has a history of such behavior in the North Country and Vermont.

State police say they received a report that a man driving a car with a spotlight on the driver’s side had stopped a vehicle last week in the Clinton County town of Dannemora.

Investigators found that 23-year-old Kyle Wyman of Plattsburgh used a red light and requested the driver’s license and registration.

Wyman was charged with criminal impersonation. He’s being held on $3,000 bail pending a court appearance Thursday. It couldn’t be determined if he has a lawyer.

Investigators say he was arrested on the same charges in March 2011. Police say he used a portable radio to illegally communicate with police dispatchers in Vermont.
