After verifying Sohn was not a police officer of any law enforcement agency, deputies took him into custody on suspicion of impersonating a police officer.
In 2014, Sohn was featured in a 2014 TV news report in Denver after he allegedly attempted to ditch his dog at a local animal shelter twice in one day.
