Man Impersonates Cop on OU Campus

4/13/07 -- Norman, OK - A Norman man is accused of playing cop on the OU campus. If convicted, he may be playing a convict.

According to police, back in January, James Daniel Garrett, 28, was "patrolling" the University of Oklahoma campus. The problem? Garrett may have the police starter kit ('92 Ford Crown Vic. and a flashlight) but he ain't no cop.

Garrett allegedly approached two girls sitting in their car in the OU parking lot and identified himself as a police officer.

The women were unimpressed and demanded Garrett show them identification proving he was a police officer.

Garrett allegedly quickly blurted out a (paraphrasing) "Ummm, uhhhh, I'm gonna just let you fine looking ladies off with a warning."

Yesterday, Garrett was charged in Cleveland County with impersonating a police officer.

In case you're wanting to know, Garrett reportedly lives at 200 S. Vicksburg in Norman.
