Ronnie Coleman Arrested for Impersonating a Police Officer! RUMOR???

[huge285]

According to one of my sources, he said that RONNIE COLEMAN was just on the local news for being arrested in Texas for impersonating a police officer.

According to this source, "I made a couple of phone calls and the scoop is he was speeding and pulled out his police badge, but as of a few months ago he left the Arlington Police Department on bad terms, and the arresting officer called him out on it. He is set to see a judge tomorrow."


Whether this is TRUTH or RUMOR remains to be seen!

[davidyes]

What!

I heard this too. crazy stuff...

^lmao! this seriously made me laugh.

[Canuck_Muscle]

That is messed up considering that Ron was actually a cop haha. I wonder what the situation surrounding that was?

[MichaelWayne]

It was some other 300lb former Mr. Olympia by the same name that was once on the Arlington Police.

[R_U_Red_D]

Wow...if it's true, Wow.....

[esplendido]

Nothing in the Dallas News yet.

[Ryan Bracewell]

He should know better. If he didn't know the cop he should have just said he used to be a cop and was getting used to civilian live and not speeding.

[SpeedoGuido]

Actually, Ronnie Coleman was Arrested for Impersonating the Police Officer in the Village People!

[SlimTim]

Lol, hopefully if it is true they just let him go without any charges. It would be ridiculous if he charged with this

[Ryan Bracewell]

Lol, hopefully if it is true they just let him go without any charges. It would be ridiculous if he charged with this

not trying to pick a fight, but why should they just let me him go? In BBing Ronnie may be a rockstar, but outside in the real world he is a nobody. If anything considering the hard on people have for steroid users they may go tougher on him because of his obvious drug use. Punish him for one thing since they really cant for the other.

[MichaelWayne]

Damn shame.

[BigJD69]

Cops jamming other Cops up; NICE!!!!

[Sugan]

Lol, hopefully if it is true they just let him go without any charges. It would be ridiculous if he charged with this

If it's true he should be charged to the fullest extent of the law. He is not a cop. I used to be a cop myself but I'd damn sure never pull a badge out and pass myself off as one.

[Ninja Loco]

Nothing in the Dallas news yet.

[vboissiere]

The arresting officer sounds like a real dick (if it's true).

[danger]

should have left that badge at home, probably could have got off with out a ticket.

[przechuy]

guy that arrested him probably was one of those retarded lauzy pussies that were beaten in preschool,in primary school someone was stealing their sandwiches,and in high schools they were "scoring" only infront of tv screen with german porn.

Such guys just love to show "how powerfull" they are when they have any legal possibility to make life harder for succesfull person

[Toniann]

Ronnie in an interview said he still worked for the Arlington PD just as a provisional officer which required him to work a few days a year but still keep his status...

[KEVDIESEL]

hopefully Mitsuru Okabe was in the car with him and the stop will be on his next dvd LOL!

[BABOON]

Lol, hopefully if it is true they just let him go without any charges. It would be ridiculous if he charged with this

I agree, it's Ronnie Coleman. He's clearly above the law. That cop should have known how many fans he had on internet bodybuilding messageboards and just let him off for impersonating law enforcement.

Fascist bastard dictators, what's next, microchips in our brains????

Here's an alternative idea. Maybe the officer was simply doing his fucking job.....

[Biggie973]

That shit is crazy rumor

Well put. If you're not on the job, best not to produce a badge and imply you are. Better to say, I used to be on the job."

:eek: No wai!!!!

Yes he was doing his job! If Ronnie was no longer part of the force and he did do this (allegedly....), then his ass should have went to jail.

[MASTER9]

Damn shame.
classic!

[Curt James]

It's speeding. If he wasn't doing two million MPH in a school zone then who gives a f***?

So far as impersonating an officer goes, did he simply flash a badge while also showing his license and registration or did he say, "I am an officer in fast pursuit, GTFO, Officer Nobody, I have a job to do!"?

Anyway, it's just a rumor. Or has there been an update or verification?

[Nick Paladino]

It would be cool to hear Ronnie tell his story on the Radio!

[jdl80]

This sounds strange, I always though you had to turn your badge in once you leave the department. If he left the police force months ago then how does he still have his badge, that doesn't make any sense.

[kdmnohio]

Not that I am so inclined....but rather than the speculation here, why don't one of those of you who are interested call the "alleged" police agency records department and inquire....its public record.......

[Zetawill]

I will say I am a huge Ronnie Coleman fan. I will also say that if it is true, I'm really let down.

Not about the impersonating an officer, but about the speeding and the fact that officers letting other officers go. Officer or not, if you are caught speeding, you get a ticket. I don't get speeding tickets. WHY? I DON'T SPEED!

If people who speed did the math, they'd never speed again as well, but most who speed are idiotic at the least. Your average travel from point A to point B takes most people 20 minutes. Let's say they average 60 mph. You'll get to your destination in 20 minutes.

Now lets say you speed they are doing and average of 70mph. They will arrive at the destination in 17.1 minutes.

Now lets say they are doing an average of 80mph. They will arrive at the destination in 15 minutes.

Now obviously these are all based on averages. For most cities you'd have to get up to 100mph at times to average 80mph.

So what you are doing is risking your life and possibly my families because you want to get to your destination 5 minutes earlier (at best)? The stupidity of speeding idiots astounds me.

[kdmnohio]

This sounds strange, I always though you had to turn your badge in once you leave the department. If he left the police force months ago then how does he still have his badge, that doesn't make any sense.

Badges can be purchased from many places....but typically an officer who has been an officer for any length of time will have several badges...they issue them for jackets, etc....and they lose track of how many they give...or if they design a new one, a lot of officers will keep their old one....LOTS of ways to have a badge....

.

Thats great that you typically dont speed...but I am sure you do/have at times for various reasons...but nonetheless...police officers do issue warnings at times....trust me, as a citizen, you would not want police officers to be nothing but "black and white/letter of the law...HERE is your ticket"...SO...if a police officer pulls over 20 persons....and issues 10 tickets and 10 warnings (if we can say that they have SOME discretion to do so)....then why then if they pull another police officer over do they HAVE to write them a ticket JUST BECAUSE they are a police officer....why cant they have some discretion and issue the police officer a warning?????? A fellow officer that countless times has put themselves at risk to help citizens and other officers...possibly even the one that pulled him over...

It is not police officers jobs to "ticket" people...it is their job to make the community safer.....traffic patrol is one of those functions....not every violation deserves a citation though it may warrant being stopped and warned..if it appears a warning fits the violation....

Not to chastise you, your observance of the law is appreciated by all....and I apologize for getting off the direction of the thread....but just wanted to put my 2 cents in on this particular subject...

[diego-b]

This is probably a rumor but wht if When they let Ronnie make his 1 phone call he ends up calling after hours show and tells us all about it and then he gets to talk to jimmy the bull now that would be a good show. LOL!!!!

The only time I speed are in these little speed trap towns in TX, and it's not on purpose, but I'm usually 5 under all the time.

Now as far as observing the law............... where did I put my tren? Maybe that's why I don't speed, don't want my gym bag searched (jk....I don't carry it in my gym bag....I leave it in my front seat.....lol)

You make some great points too. Not every officer of every dept is ticket happy. I've had some that were, and a couple that just wanted to correct the situation- and worked with me so it would be without trying to get me in trouble.

[zipmouth]

According to this source, "I made a couple of phone calls and the scoop is he was speeding and pulled out his police badge, but as of a few months ago he left the Arlington Police Department on bad terms, and the arresting officer called him out on it."


The key words here are "left on bad terms". Many departments present "retired" or "auxillary" badges to former officers. But IF Ronnie "left on bad terms", it is doubtful he would have received one of these. IF Ronnie still had his "official" badge and he is no longer with the agency, then presenting the badge would constitute impersonating a officer in most, if not all, states. In many, if not all states impersonating a police officer is a felony which in not normally a citeable offense.

I ,for one, hope it's only a rumor.

And were any numbers mentioned? I'm not worried about forty in a 35 zone, sorry.

[GREENMACHINE23]

It is standard to go at least 10 mph over the limit where I live. Most people who come to visit claim that we have the worst drivers. It's just that they can't keep up and you have to be more of a defensive driver. If driving in a residential area by all means go the speed limit, but if you are on a expressway there should be a little more cushion.

[Curt James]

"During a traffic stop in Dalworthington Gardens, Coleman told a police officer, who had stopped him for speeding, that he was an officer in nearby Arlington, police said. Coleman then said he was a reserve officer and later said he was an officer for a hospital, according to police."

That's text from the link posted in this thread.

Much love for Big Ron, but was he high? :confused:

"Hello, officer, I'm Ronnie Coleman and I'm an officer in nearby Arlington!

Wait, I mean I'm a reserve officer.

No, hold up, hold up, I'm an officer for a hospital, yeah, that's it."

Wishing him the best, but that's a head shaker.

[GREENMACHINE23]

:( Ronnie should have known better. Best of luck to him.

[Curt James]

but if you are on a expressway there should be a little more cushion.

Truth.

Doing the posted speed limit on I-81 between Carlisle and Harrisburg may be more dangerous than speeding, imo, as you run a very real chance of being run over by 18 wheelers or other motorists.

There's law and then there's common sense or self preservation.

[jbruno7272]

Well put. If you're not on the job, best not to produce a badge and imply you are. Better to say, I used to be on the job."
Exactly. I seriously doubt he did something that stupid. He was a cop. He knows the deal.

Yeah, I only did six years of high school. The last five were all tenth grade. :p

[ROTFLMAO]

A great attorney like RICHARD D. COLLINS can make this go away and not even have it on his record.

[Sledge]

Sounds like Ronny did a spur of the moment dumb thing. I'm sure he's kicking his own arse now for doing it. I've done plenty of dumb things on the spur of the moment, Especialy when the filth are involved. I'm sure most of you have too.


Oh well hope they don't go too hard on him. Good luck Ronnie pay your fine or do your community service and move on.

[Curt James]

A great attorney like RICHARD D. COLLINS can make this go away and not even have it on his record.

He'll probably get a slap on the wrist at worst.

Google search string "penalty for impersonating a law enforcement officer" offered the following bit of text:

"Depending on state law, impersonating a police officer may be considered either a felony or a misdemeanor.

Punishments for impersonating a police officer include:

• Imprisonment up to five years (sometimes more)

• Fines (usually $1000 or more)

• Probation

• Permanent criminal record"

I'm guessing misdemeanor, no jail time, no fine, and maybe a stern word from a judge.

It's not like Coleman was ticketing people, using police flashers on his Hummer, or drawing down on nuns. :confused:

It will be interesting to see what he says. My guess is an overzealous officer. Every department has a few that don't even ear the respect of their peers. My guess is that Ronnie was in a gray area and the officer blew it out of proportion.

HERE IS ANOTHER ARTICLE FROM A DIFFERENT NEWSPAPER:


DALWORTHINGTON GARDENS — Former Arlington police officer, bodybuilder and eight-time Mr. Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman was arrested for impersonating a police officer Friday.

Coleman was stopped for speeding on California Lane in Dalworthington Gardens about 6 p.m.

During the stop, Coleman pulled out a badge and told the arresting officer that he was a police officer and a reserve police officer with Arlington, police said. Both statements turned out to be false, a police spokesman said.

Records showed that Coleman was a police officer with Arlington from 1998 to 2000, and then a reserve officer with Arlington from 2001 until 2003, said Sgt. David Henderson, Dalworthington Gardens police spokesman.

"Dalworthington Gardens called us after this traffic stop because he showed them a badge and an Arlington ID card," said Lt. Blake Miller, Arlington police spokesman.

Coleman later said he was an officer with the Baylor Health Care System, and during a second records check police discovered that was also false, Henderson said. The arresting officer took Coleman to jail, but he was released Friday after posting bail, Henderson said.

If convicted, Coleman could face a maximum fine of $2,000 and spend 180 days in jail.

Same info the police released to all the media. Nothing new.... and it's not accurate

[juggernaut]

It was some other 300lb former Mr. Olympia by the same name that was once on the Arlington Police.I thought thats what it was

[MisterGX]

I guess his jilted ex-girlfriend was right.. Bad karma will eventually catch up to you & bite you in the ass..

[juggernaut]

what'd he do to her??

[knine110]

I will say I am a huge Ronnie Coleman fan. I will also say that if it is true, I'm really let down.

Not about the impersonating an officer, but about the speeding and the fact that officers letting other officers go. Officer or not, if you are caught speeding, you get a ticket. I don't get speeding tickets. WHY? I DON'T SPEED!

If people who speed did the math, they'd never speed again as well, but most who speed are idiotic at the least. Your average travel from point A to point B takes most people 20 minutes. Let's say they average 60 mph. You'll get to your destination in 20 minutes.

Now lets say you speed they are doing and average of 70mph. They will arrive at the destination in 17.1 minutes.

Now lets say they are doing an average of 80mph. They will arrive at the destination in 15 minutes.

Now obviously these are all based on averages. For most cities you'd have to get up to 100mph at times to average 80mph.

So what you are doing is risking your life and possibly my families because you want to get to your destination 5 minutes earlier (at best)? The stupidity of speeding idiots astounds me.


Well look at "Mr. Morals". Whatever. Speed doesn't kill. People like you who probably refuse to get on to the right lane when the left is for PASSING cause accidents. The accident rate in Germany is far lower than it is here because they follow the other 115 rules of the road!!!

People texting while driving and so on. Do you have a Hands free kit in your car "Morals" or are you one of those folks that "just answered it for a minute". I frequently drive cross country and I will say that your math is skewed at best. At 70mph it takes me roughly 10 hours to drive 700 miles. at 85mph I can get 850 miles in the same amount of time. So please save me the "put my family in danger speech" I have been driving for 20 years and have never had an accident because I DRIVE. Not talk, put on make-up, drink hot latte's, text or any of that other ish. I simply drive.

Interesting.

Who and what is this all about?

Truth.

Doing the posted speed limit on I-81 between Carlisle and Harrisburg may be more dangerous than speeding, imo, as you run a very real chance of being run over by 18 wheelers or other motorists.

There's law and then there's common sense or self preservation.

EXACTLY. Going 5 under is just as dangerous. And if that Will guy didnt know you can get a ticket for going 5 under if the "flow of traffic" is 10 over. Its called impeding the flow of traffic. Yes I have seen it happen to my Father in Law.

What is dangerous in traffic, especially on highways, is FLUCTUATIONS in speed. Wheather it be, a car speeding super fast, or a car poking a long super slow. This could happen when exiting, entering, changing lanes...etc. Going with the "flow" of traffic is the safest thing to do, however, if that flow is 10 mph over, a cop can single people out and give tickets, obviously. As a traffic engineer myself, we try to keep the "fluctuations" to a minumum, and keep roadway safe.

Now about ronnie, I would try everything i could to get out of a ticket too lol

[Caddan]

Can't wait to hear the real story.
I can't imagine Ronnie to be that stupid!

[BoneBz]

John give us the run down on HMR monday :-D

[John Romano]

Well look at "Mr. Morals". Whatever. Speed doesn't kill. People like you who probably refuse to get on to the right lane when the left is for PASSING cause accidents. The accident rate in Germany is far lower than it is here because they follow the other 115 rules of the road!!!

You are exactly right! I have a very fast car. That doesn't mean I drive it very fast all the time. You have to know how to speed. There are stretches of highway between my house and where my parents live up north where I've maintained between 120 - 150 for over an hour. At 70 - 80 MPH it is a five hour trip. I've done it in three. Never got a ticket there or anywhere else - I don't even have a radar detector. I don't text, talk, eat, read, or any of the other ludicrous things people do behind the wheel. I just drive - to the right - with both hands on the wheel just like they do in Germany where my car was made specifically for high speed driving. Before I leave I check my tire pressure, fluid levels, and do a walk around much like pilots do before they fly, checking for anything that could be an issue. I've also attended several driving/racing classes and enjoyed many track days in my car and others.

Speeding is just like anything else you do that has the potential for danger. If you don't respect it it will bite you.

[John Romano]

John give us the run down on HMR monday :-D

maybe even sooner!

[Diabetic Muscle]

God forbid he do the most humanly thing possible and make a mistake.

[beezy13]

It will be interresting to see if this is true. haven't heard anything about it here. Seems strange a cop would give him a ticket especially there it wasn't like he was caught in new mexico or something. It was in an area where you'd think he woud just get a warning.

[R_U_Red_D]

Isn't this the first time that a former Mr O has been arrested?

[Jay]

O well Ronnie got arrested big friggin deal people get arrested everyday. I don't agree with the fact that a man thinks he can do whatever he pleases just because he USED to be a cop I hate that im above the law bullshit, he probably had it in his head that he can speed get caught flash his little peice of metal that a majority of these men feel give ultimate power to do whatever they please. Ronnie just got a reality check that he is not above jack shit. Pardon the anger I just hate when people feel that they can do what they please and think some peice of metal is gonna save them stupid stupid mentality.

Famed bodybuilder and eight-time Mr. Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman was arrested Friday and charged with falsely identifying himself as a police officer.


During a traffic stop in Dalworthington Gardens, Coleman told a police officer, who had stopped him for speeding, that he was an officer in nearby Arlington, police said.

Coleman then said he was a reserve officer and later said he was an officer for a hospital, according to police.

Dalworthington Gardens police Sgt. David Henderson said that Coleman also produced a badge, but that a records check indicated he hadn’t been a licensed officer since 2003.

Coleman, 45, posted bail Friday and was released from jail.

Isn't this the first time that a former Mr O has been arrested?

Though I'm not surprised that you're unaware of it, Larry Scott, Sergio, Arnold, Franco, Zane, Chris Dickerson, Samir Bannout, Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, Coleman, Cutler, and Jackson were each arrested.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gathered up the complete gang of Mr. Olympia winners and jetted off to Amsterdam, Rome, and Paris to pull off three separate heists. All the while, the boys dealt with increasing pressure from a very mad Terry Benedict, a dedicated Europol agent with a link to Franco's past, and a mysterious Guadeloupian rival known as the "Black Panther."

Unfortunately for these Olympians, the Europol agent was successful and brought them all to justice. Surprisingly, although they were each arrested and booked for their thievery, each Mr. Olympia was sentenced with a mere slap on the wrist - 20 hours of community service for each man at Gold's in Venice.

Their records were expunged and these events are little known in the bodybuilding community.

You are an archive of information. Where do you store all that shit? I love them old war stories back in the golden era and even in the 90's. Share more:popcorn:
I remember back in the day when Lee Priest had to drop out of the Arnold classic because the authorities to be were cracking down at that time and a few others had to drop out as well. Now, of course, like your post nothing was ever kept on the record, so who knows what really happened, but still funny that a lot of pros dropped out of that contest.

The story of Ferrigno and the WBF is apparently on the record, unlike my fictional yarn.

"It was announced in a private meeting ... that because Vince McMahon was under federal suspicion for steroid distribution, the second competition would have to be drug-free. Former television personality and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno had just signed with the WBF and immediately left the company upon hearing this news."

Hell yea, bro. That's the kind of stuff I like to hear. It's great for bodybuilding and us bodybuilders to know that divided we stand, united we fall. As the old saying goes, keep our ears close to the track because you never do know when the badge has your ticket - no pun intended.

If it's true he should be charged to the fullest extent of the law. He is not a cop. I used to be a cop myself but I'd damn sure never pull a badge out and pass myself off as one.
