REVERE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A Revere teen has been arrested after failing to show up for his arraignment on a slew of charges including impersonating a police officer.
According to the Daily Item, 18-year-old Sandro D. Anaya is facing charges that include impersonating a police officer, receiving a stolen motor vehicle, carrying a dangerous weapon, violation of a city knife ordinance, and violation of a learner's permit.
Police claim Anaya was arrested just after 2 a.m. on Saturday morning after police witnessed the teen make an illegal turn in a stolen Ford 2002 pickup truck. When officers pulled Anaya over, they reportedly found handcuffs, a 6 mm black BB gun, an expandable baton, and a gold police badge hanging from a chain around his neck.
Anaya posted $1,000 cash bail after his arrest, but failed to appear at his arraignment on Monday. Anaya was taken into custody again on Thursday after a warrant for his arrest was issued.
Officials tell the Daily Item that Anaya made statements to investigators about patrolling the streets "looking for the real criminals." They say Anaya has had run-ins with Revere police in the past for reportedly impersonating an officer.
