A 28-year-old Wichita man was arrested for impersonating an officer on his Facebook page.

Police say he claimed to be a Wichita officer under the occupation section of his page.

He was reported after police say he made derogatory comments on-line.  When police investigated they quickly learned the man was not an officer.

Police Lt. Doug Nolte says it’s illegal to impersonate an officer, even on social media.
