A young Palm Beach, Fl, police cadet has been charged with posing as a police officer after he robbed his father's police patrol Saturday morning to hunt down his ex-girlfriend and new partner.

According to El Nuevo Herald, cadet Christopher Combs, 22, used the patrol of his father, a county police officer for almost two decades, taking advantage of the fact that he had gone on vacation.

The reason: he wanted to give his ex-partner a lesson.

Police reports indicate that Combs learned that Jamie DiCarlo, with whom she had been in a love relationship for five years, was walking with her new boyfriend, Robert Roberts, near a lake between the limits of Palm Beach and Broward counties.

The young man then drove the police vehicle to the scene and when he saw the couple, he activated the sirens and ordered him through the police intercom to stop.

Always on the patrol loudspeaker, the disgruntled cadet instructed the boy to walk his vehicle with his hands up and to lie face down on the pavement. He also ordered him to empty his pockets.

He then got off the patrol and "placed what appeared to be a metal object on the back of the victim's head, before stealing his property," according to the police report.

At some point in this encounter, the police impostor instructed the girl to also drop to the floor, then mounted the patrol again and left the scene.

The crime was solved thanks to the fact that DiCarlo recognized Combs' voice and immediately called the police, who arrested him a few hours later.

Combs, who has been with the police department since August 2016 but has not been sworn in as an agent, is under house arrest and has had a GPS monitor attached. He also has a restraining order not to approach his ex-girlfriend.

In addition to one count of impersonating a law enforcement officer, the defendant faces one count of armed robbery and two counts of false confinement.
