Coffee City police looking for man impersonating officer

COFFEE CITY — The Coffee City Police Department is warning people about a man who is allegedly impersonating an officer.

The man reportedly pulled people over in Tyler and Coffee City, and he was wearing a tan or brown uniform, officials said.

Coffee City Police Chief John Jay Portillo is asking the community to help them find this man. People should call 911 if they are pulled over by someone in a tan uniform.
