Ann Arbor Teen Accused Of Impersonating Gun-Toting FBI Agent Awaits Court

YPSILANTI TWP. (WWJ/AP) - A 17-year-old Michigan boy who authorities say pretended to be an FBI agent is awaiting a juvenile court hearing in Ohio.

Lucas County Deputy Juvenile Prosecutor Lori Olander tells The Ann Arbor News that the teenager is scheduled to appear June 11 on charges of driving a stolen vehicle, furnishing false information and receiving stolen property.

Authorities say the teen called the Cueter Chrysler dealership in Ypsilanti Township last week and asked to test drive a 2015 Dodge Charger. They say he told dealership employees he was an FBI agent and was carrying what appeared to be a firearm on his hip. The weapon was later revealed to be an Airsoft air gun.

The teen drove the car to the Toledo, Ohio, area, where he crashed. Authorities say he again presented himself as an FBI agent to officers, and was taken into custody.

The teen is also expected to face trial in Michigan, where he will be charged as an adult. Authorities say he will return to Washtenaw County once the Ohio case is complete.

The Charger, which was totaled in the accident, was valued around $28,000.
