Today's wool-over-the-eyes clasisic concerns a bold youth who {duped Kokomo police into believing the was a narcotic agent, staged an

actual raid with them, and later questioned suspects in Kokomo police headquarters.

The amazing story was unraveled |:

in federal court where Ernest Rus;sell Perry Jr. pleaded guilty to impersonating a federal agent and convincing Kokomo policemen with thé aid of a shiny nickel‘plated “bellboy’s badge, that he was hot on the trail of dope peddlers. After he had led them on the

raid, Perry, federal affidavits show,

queried suspects at length on methods of obtaining and disposing of marijuana cigarets. Perry was nabbed when he tried to pull the same fraud on Indianapolis police without success. The youth has never give a motive for undertaking the adventure, District Attorney Howard Coughran said. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell wrote a temporary finis to his impersonation career by referring him to probation authorities who are to investigate the possibility of his induction into the army. Maybe the judge had the espionage department in mind.
