Raul Eiseman, 44, of Elmhurst, was arrested at his home Monday afternoon and charged with aggravated impersonation of a police officer and armed robbery, according to a police report.
The suspect, who works in a law office and is from Romania, is expected to appear in bond court this afternoon.
Police said Monday’s arrest followed an incident in which Eiseman -- while allegedly wearing a belt with a pistol in a holster and an unidentified type of police badge -- demanded $150 from a man in his 30s or he would “arrest” him and take him to the police station. Eiseman told the man he was a private investigator, a lawyer and a police officer.
A similar incident was discovered last month. Eiseman was charged with trying to extort $400 per week for over a year from a Polish immigrant. The suspect told the victim he was a Chicago police officer and would make him “disappear” if he didn’t meet his demands, police said.
