Man charged with impersonating police officer

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (AP) — Anne Arundel County Police have arrested a man they say displayed a badge and handcuffs and told people in a Glen Burnie store that he was looking for a missing girl.

Police were called to the Family Dollar Store on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard about 3:40 p.m. Wednesday. Officers say two women reported that the man had approached them and made rude comments.
