Dunwoody Police Sgt. Michael Cheek said the man's lie was discovered after a citizen complained last week about the conduct of a traffic cop.
"Wednesday morning we had a resident come into the police department to make a complaint on an officer that was being rude while directing traffic," Cheek told FOX 5 Atlanta.
Officers with the Dunwoody Police Department then went to the location where the man was directing traffic on Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Cotillion Drive and found him.
