Man arrested for impersonating federal marshal, trying to steal car, police say
TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — A man has been arrested after he claimed to be a federal marshal and tried driving an Audi away from a dealership in south Tulsa, police say.
According to the Tulsa Police Department, a man later identified as Randy Cantwell came into a car dealership near 61st and Mingo and asked to look at an Audi in the lot.
An employee got the keys and began showing Cantwell the car, but said the car wasn't ready to be driven. Cantwell said he was taking it anyway, and claimed the dealership stole the car.
Cantwell told employees he was a federal marshal and could take the car if he wanted. The employees blocked the car in and when Cantwell realized he couldn't drive away, he got out of the car and began to walk off.
Tulsa police arrived and spoke with Cantwell, who had no ID verifying he was a federal marshal.
Cantwell told officers he became a marshal after former President Trump enacted marital law.
Cantwell was arrested and booked into the Tulsa County Jail.
