There is another phony cop stopping girls near Nine Mile Road, or could be the same guy that did the same thing last week. Here is an alert sent out to UWF students:
Safety Alert: Unmarked Car with Flashing Blue Lights
On Saturday evening, between 8 and 8:30 p.m., a white male driving a white Buick sedan flashed blue lights in an attempt to pull over a UWF student. The student was driving on University Parkway and continued to campus. The driver of the other vehicle turned onto Hillview Ave. Responding police units were unable to locate the Buick on campus or in the surrounding area.
If the driver of an unmarked car attempts to pull you over by activating blue lights or sirens, and you are unsure that the driver is a police officer, turn on your hazard lights and continue driving at a reduced rate of speed until you reach a well-lit, populated area. If you have a cell phone, dial 911 and explain your concerns to the dispatcher.
The University of West Florida Police Department does not use unmarked cars for traffic stops.
If you have any information regarding this incident, contact the UWF Police at 474-2415 or 911 for emergencies
