Garner man accused of impersonating a police officer, charged with sex crime
A Garner man was arrested Wednesday after police say he impersonated an officer during a sexual assault.
Michael Sanchez Jones, 39, is charged with first-degree kidnapping, first-degree forcible sex offense and impersonating law enforcement in the Feb. 7 offense, according to his arrest warrant.
Raleigh police allege he restrained a woman without her consent and threatened to arrest her if she didn’t perform a sexual act on him.
It’s not clear from court documents where the assault occurred or how Jones allegedly met the woman. He is being held in the Wake County jail without bail and is set to make his first appearance in court Thursday afternoon, court records show.
Should he be released, Jones will not be allowed to have any contact with the victim, according to the conditions of his release.
