Dailey Bailey: A Guy Dressed Up as a Cop to Impress His Girlfriend . . . and Got Arrested for Impersonating an Officer

Any guy who goes to a flea market with his girlfriend should automatically get a million brownie points. And the rest of this shouldn’t even have been necessary.

Last Wednesday, a 24-year-old named Jeremiah Cunningham got dragged to a flea market in Oakland Park, Florida by his girlfriend. And he decided to impress her by dressing up as a cop.

Now, it’s not clear how long they’ve been dating. But apparently he was trying to make her think he’s an actual cop. And he went all out, wearing a badge and a bulletproof vest with the word “Sheriff” on it, plus handcuffs and a fully loaded gun on his hip.

But he’d also done his homework. Because when a real cop started talking to him, Jeremiah threw out a bunch of cop terms and actually convinced the cop he was legit.

But later that day, another officer looked at a photo of Jeremiah, realized he wasn’t a real cop, and managed to track down his family.

Jeremiah ended up turning himself in the next day. He’s charged with openly carrying a weapon, using a police badge, and impersonating an officer.
