When RCMP asked for identification the man said he didn’t have any.
He was charged with impersonating an officer and released, but was arrested again a few days later allegedly driving a stolen dump truck in the Liverpool area, on the province’s South Shore.
Police say it appears the man spent New Year’s Eve in the West Caledonia, N.S., garage where the truck was parked before making away with the vehicle the next morning.
Forty-three-year-old Christopher MacLeod will face several charges including breaking and entering and theft of a motor vehicle in a court appearance next month.
