According to warrants, James

Anthony Cook, 41, falsely identified himself at an auto accident at the

intersection of Ga. highways 85 and 314. Court documents indicate he verbally

identified himself as a police officer, and he flashed a badge from the

Spalding County Sheriff's Office.

But Cook was later found to

have been terminated from his position at Spalding County June 6 of last

year, according to a Fayetteville Police report, citing Spalding County

records and the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which regulates

law enforcement officers in the state of Georgia.

Magistrate Judge Robert Ruppenthal

set Cook's bond at $5,000.
