Impersonator being sought by real officersGermantown and Cedarburg police are seeking a man they believe impersonated a police officer twice on Saturday. About 4 p.m., two witnesses saw a man flashing a silver badge and claiming to be an off-duty Cedarburg police officer get out of his SUV on Washington Ave. and berate a skateboarder who was being pulled by a dog on the street, according to a Cedarburg police report. The witnesses reviewed photographs of officers and auxiliary officers at the Police Department, but found none who looked like the suspect, the report says. He is described as 5-feet-10 with a small to medium build, a heavy mustache and salt-and-pepper hair. Germantown police Lt. Dave Huesemann said today he believes the same man impersonated an officer a short time later near River Lane and Mequon Road, where he confronted people about littering “in a very aggressive manner.” Huesemann said Germantown police know the man, who they believe lives in the Germantown area, from previous contacts and are trying to find him. “Strange Reading: Practice, Audience, Theory,” the third annual graduate conference organized by the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago, will take place on October 10-11, 2008.
