Man Impersonating Police Officer Arrested in Riverbank

On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at approximately 7:26 a.m., a female motorist made reports of a suspicious vehicle after she was pulled over on Oakdale Road and Freddie Lane in Riverbank, by an unknown male driving a dark-colored sedan equipped with flashing red and blue lights.

Deputies immediately responded and were able to locate the vehicle in a nearby residential neighborhood. At 8:12 a.m. deputies contacted the suspect, Alan Rojas, 43-year-old male out of Riverbank who was still inside the vehicle at the time. The sedan was outfitted with lighting equipment designed to mimic an unmarked police vehicle.

Further investigation revealed that the suspect displayed objective signs of alcohol intoxication. Field testing confirmed the suspect’s blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit. Rojas was arrested and transported to the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center, where he was booked on charges of Impersonating a Peace Officer and Driving Under the Influence.

We appreciate the swift actions of the individual who reported this incident, which directly contributed to the suspect’s arrest.

Riverbank Police Services reminds the public: If you see something, say something. Community members are encouraged to report suspicious activity anonymously through Stanislaus Area Crime Stoppers at www.stancrimetips.org or by calling 1-866-602-CRIME.
