A teenager has been arrested for allegedly trying to pose as a Texarkana police officer.
Devon Martin, 18, was taken into custody on Jan. 23 after authorities found him in possession of an air soft pistol in the 2400 block of Richmond Road.
Investigators later found out that Martin had previously identified himself as a Texarkana, Texas police officer by using an actual officer's business card.
Martin was booked into the Bi-State Justice Center and charged with impersonating a public servant. His bond has been set at $20,000.
