Jury Finds Cantonment Woman Not Guilty Of Impersonating A Police Officer
April 30, 2024
An Escambia County jury recently found a Cantonment woman not guilty of impersonating a police officer.
In July 2023, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement brought a felony charge of falsely impersonating a police officer against Bobbie Lei Sales, then 35.
FDLE agents began their investigation in May 2023 after receiving information that Sales identified herself as an FDLE agent. FDLE said their investigation showed that Sales visited a victim’s home and presented a silver badge while wearing a firearm. FDLE alleged she told the victim that he was under investigation and said she would be back in a couple of weeks to search his home.
FDLE also accused Sales of identifying herself as working for FDLE while having her vehicle repaired at a local dealership.
An Escambia County jury deliberated just 20 minutes before returning the not guilty verdict.

Good defense attorney. The system worked .
@chris K: never said about what type of suit should be filed and never speculate on the outcome of any court case : highly doubtful is simply a ridiculous opinion only !!!
As for suing FDLE, a person being found not guilty in a court of law does not mean the suspect did not commit the crime. A not guilty means that the case wasn’t proven beyond a reasonable doubt. A civil trial (lawsuit) would see evidence introduced that could be excluded from a criminal trial. It’s highly doubtful that with two “victims” of the alleged impersonation that a plaintiff in this type of civil suit would prevail.
Well well well looks like the charges against this woman were all wrong !!! Now she possibly has a chance to sue these people and will probably win and I hope she can sue and definitely hope she wins !!!!!
