A 39-year old Scotts Valley man was arrested last week for impersonating a police officer. After a 3-month long investigation, Akira Kelly was arrested Friday after he reportedly outfitted an old police car he purchased over the internet with a radar detector siren, PA system, police lights, and a scanner. Akira was taken into custody after a search warrant was served at his home on the 5500 block of Scotts Valley Drive. He was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail on multiple charges including impersonating a police officer, exhibiting a fraudulent law enforcement badge, possessing stolen property, and displaying a fraudulent license plate.
