58-year-old Eric McNutt was caught impersonating a parking attendant at an empty parking lot on President Ronald Reagan Way South on July 4th. When officers arrived, they observed McNutt wearing a hi-visibility yellow vest, waving vehicles into the parking lot to park. Officers spoke with a witness who stated that McNutt waved him in and asked him for $10 to park at that location. Officers had previously talked to Downtown Partnership about McNutt conducting the same business on May 28th. On that occasion, officers could not find McNutt but observed pictures of him in the same parking lot dressed in the same yellow vest. When officers spoke to McNutt, he denied ever asking people for money and stated that he used to work for Downtown Partnership. McNutt told officers that he simply asked people to park there and suggested they could give him a tip. McNutt was taken into custody for criminal impersonation.
