Two Florida residents who police say attempted to get “their partner” out of jail are now reunited with him – behind bars.
The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office says Francine Olson and Brandon Reyes were arrested Monday night for impersonating a law enforcement officer after they tried to get inside a local jail by posing as detectives.
“The two, after telling DCSO dispatchers they were new detectives, attempted to gain access to DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office vehicles and were using the jail entrance intercom to communicate with staff,” the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook. “This was in an attempt to get ‘their partner’ George Chanza out of jail.”
