WOODSTOCK, Ill. (AP) — McHenry County authorities say a 19-year-old accused of posing as a police officer and making a teenage couple remove their clothes has been arrested, thanks in part to a tip that came in nearly nine months after the incident.
Authorities say Michael Spencer of Harvard was arrested by McHenry County Sheriff’s police on charges of robbery, burglary, aggravated false impersonation of a police officer, aggravated battery and criminal damage to property.
The incident occurred May 15 in a rural area.
They say someone believed to have been Spencer approached a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy as they sat in a parked car, forced them to strip, smashed the boy’s cell phone and punched him in the face before fleeing.
Spencer was being held Tuesday night on $5,000 cash bond.
