♦ We don’t know if any records are about to be broken in the ANNALS OF OFFBEAT CRIME, a repository for white cannibals, pyromaniacs, persons obsessed with impersonating law enforcement officers, and others not fitting criminal norms.  When we learn of someone having two or more convictions for impersonating a law enforcement officer it makes us take notice.

Rowan County Sheriff’s Office sources reported Fredrick Chad Talbert, 45, of Mocksville, N.C., was arrested Sunday in Rowan County on the charge of impersonation law-enforcement/other public officer. Under a secured $3,000 bond, Talbert was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center.
