A Phenix City woman was arrested on a felony charge of impersonating a peace officer after deputies say she used an expired police identification card to try to avoid a traffic ticket. Shaina Miller, 32, was taken into custody following two traffic stops on July 31 in the 200 block of Lee Road 600, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
A deputy initially stopped Miller’s vehicle for an expired registration tag. As the deputy approached the driver’s side, Miller was holding a small wallet with a clear plastic cover displaying an identification card. She removed the card, placed it on her lap, and handed the deputy her driver’s license. When questioned about the card on her lap, Miller stated it read “CPD” and claimed she was a Columbus Police Department officer, authorities said.
