Carrollton police released a composite sketch of a man who impersonated a police officer and sexually assaulted a woman in the back of his car on Interstate 35E on Nov. 21.
Police said the victim worked with detectives to come up with the sketch above.
The man handcuffed and put her in the back of his vehicle, where he sexually assaulted her. He did not display a gun, police said.
The vehicle, which may have been a Ford Crown Victoria, had blue lights on the interior of the windshield. The victim does not remember seeing lights on the outside of the vehicle, police said. The car had vinyl seats but no prisoner cage.
The man is described as a white man in his 30s or 40s who is between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build. He has gray or white short hair and a dark-colored shorter beard.
Police said the fake officer was wearing sunglasses, a dark-blue, long-sleeved uniform with no patches, a gold star-shaped badge, a gold name tag with numbers on it and a "police belt" with handcuffs and a baton with a handle, possibly a PR-24 style. The victim did not see a radio or gun on the belt.
