WARREN, Ohio - Warren Police have issued a warrant for a suspect accused of getting someone’s address by pretending he worked for the police department.

Timothy Boyce, 28, of Warren has been charged with personating a police officer.

According to a police report, told a manager at a Dollar General store on Elm Road NE that he was a Warren Police officer and needed the address of an employee to serve a subpoena.

The employee spoke on the phone with the “officer” and gave him her address.

After the corporate manager later sent the employee of picture of the purported police officer, she recognized him as the boyfriend of a woman who had recently been fired from another Dollar General.

The report doesn’t say why the man needed the woman’s address.

The officer investigating the incident attached the suspect’s picture to the report and filed a charge against Boyce on Thursday.
