1/1/2008

BOWLING GREEN Police are investigating a report of a woman who said she was pulled over by a man impersonating a police officer early yesterday.

Monique Martinez, 18, of Holland said she left her boyfriend's house about midnight and was stopped by a white car with a red light on top while driving on East Wooster Street toward I-75.

A man in a black suit approached her vehicle and began asking questions. She said he asked what was in the Coke can she had next to her and said he needed to taste what was in the can. After he took a drink, she said, she drove away.

He was described as white, about 34 years old, 6 feet tall, clean-shaven, and with black hair.
