A 43-year-old man named Jose Morin got arrested at an I-35 construction site in Von Ormy for allegedly impersonating a police officer while directing traffic. Claiming to be a reserve officer with the Dilley Police Department — a role he never actually held — Morin was dressed in full police gear and driving a marked vehicle. Though licensed, his commission had been inactive since January. He’s now facing felony charges for impersonating a public servant and unlawfully carrying a weapon. The traffic control company he claimed to work for stayed silent, deferring to lawyers. This case is a stark reminder of why verifying credentials matters — especially when someone’s acting like an authority figure.
