Yesterday evening at about 6:30 pm, Alaska State Troopers responded to multiple calls reporting an adult male conducting traffic stops while impersonating an officer of the law.

The various stops by the pretend officer were reported in several locations in and around Wasilla and Palmer.

After an investigation of the reports, Alaska State Troopers were able to positively identify the perpetrator of the fake traffic stops, who was using a 2002 white Chrysler Voyager to carry out the criminal impersonations. Alaska State Troopers located Ieremia Unasa, age 26l, of Palmer at his residence off of East Eklutna Street.

Unasa was arrested at the scene, transported to Mat-Su Pretrial and remanded there on a $10,000 bail with a third party court approved custodian. He was charged with Impersonating a Public Servant in the first degree.

Alaska State Troopers are requesting that anyone that believes that they were stopped by the bogus cop to please contact them at 907-745-2131.
