Cobb County man Bryant Brough arrested for impersonating a police officer

A Cobb County man has been arrested and is in jail for impersonating a police officer.

Smya police said 23-year-old Bryant Brough's SUV looked so much like a law enforcement vehicle, at first glance, even they were fooled.

According to investigators, the white Tahoe was outfitted to be similar to a police vehicle, even having sirens, lights, and a mount for a computer next to the driver's seat.  Officers said that they found a tactical helmet, vests, 535 rounds of ammo, two glocks and two long guns inside the vehicle. Police said they also found a badge from the Atlanta Police Department. 

Atlanta police said they are currently unaware of how the badge got therer and that they're investigating the situation.

Smya Police pulled the driver over in a parking lot off Concord Road. Officials said Brough got out of his car with his gun. 

"He immediately took up a tactical position behind the door and was standing there with his firearm out of the case at his side," said Smya Police Officer Louis Defense.

Police said it was a tense and dangerous situation, magnified by the recent police shootings across the nation, but the officers were able to convince Brough to put down his weapon. 

"This was clearly a situation that could have escalated into a lethal force, through their skillful verbal commands and de-escalation tools, they were able to get the guy to surrender," said Officer Defense.
