Carbondale Police are searching for a suspect who is impersonating a police officer. Police received a report Monday morning around 9:30 that a person had been pulled over by a blue, full-sized truck with the words “Bomb Squad” written on the side, and lights which flashed in an alternating pattern.

The suspect is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing around 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing jeans, sneakers, and a navy blue t-shirt which said “bomb squad.”
