An elderly man faces charges after he reportedly posed as a Border Patrol agent and threatened to shoot drivers if they didn’t show their “papers.”
San Antonio police responded around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday to reports of an armed man threatening drivers on West French Place near Fredericksburg Road. They detained the man as he walked home. He reportedly had a gun, a phony badge, and a hat that looked like Border Patrol gear.
Officers arrested him for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, deadly conduct, and impersonating a public servant.
