Aaron Presley Skipworth, 20, of Ardmore is being held without bond after waiving an Aniah’s Law hearing on October 21. He faces charges of first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping and impersonating a peace officer, according to WHNT, citing the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s office advises caution
Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin described the allegations as serious and said residents should be able to trust that people identifying themselves as officers are legitimate. He advised people who encounter someone suspicious claiming law-enforcement authority to contact the sheriff’s office, WAFF reported.
What investigators allege
The sheriff’s office said deputies responded on October 15 to a report of someone falsely claiming to be a peace officer. Investigators allege Skipworth went into a Limestone County residence, presented a paper as an arrest warrant and identified himself as an officer. They say he then restrained the resident, took him by vehicle to Huntsville, let him go and fled. These details were reported by WHNT, based on information from the sheriff’s office.
