MOUNT VERNON — Impersonating a police officer is against the law–even on social media–and that has one man in trouble with law enforcement.

Mt. Vernon authorities were recently made aware of an individual on Facebook claiming to be an “Officer Jeremy Brock” with the Mt. Vernon Police Department.

According to MVPD, they do not have an Officer Jeremy Brock and the photo of a police officer that is posted on the Facebook page is not an officer in the department.
