A man allegedly posed as a police officer to try to kidnap a woman who was meditating. The suspect, Larry Copeland, is accused of ordering the victim to get on the ground and throwing her cellphone into a pond. He also shone a flashlight in her face. The victim initially complied, believing Copeland to be a real officer.

The incident occurred at Lost Mountain Park. Further details about the case are available from the authorities.

The police have warned that individuals may pretend to be law enforcement to gain someone's trust, potentially leading to robbery or other crimes.
