According to the U.S. Business Insider website, a criminal indictment shows that for a year, a woman in Oregon had been mistakenly believing that she was being trained as an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), but later found out that she had been cheated for a year by a man pretending to be her "DEA boss." The man, on the other hand, said he and the woman "enjoyed cosplay."
The man was reportedly Robert Edward Golden, 41. On February 1, a police officer found a tactical vest in the trunk of Golden's car, and the authorities subsequently discovered and detained the "DEA partners" of a man and a woman. When officers asked Him if he was a federal agent, Golden said he and his "interns" were both federal agents working in Portland. According to the indictment, Golden then asked the woman to show the police her fake badge.
According to the US media, according to the testimony, the two were handed over to anti-drug bureau investigators that night, and then Golden admitted that the documents were fake. This time, officials said, he claimed he and the woman "enjoyed cosplay" and that with the gear and badges, they were able to provide them with "protection." From the confession of a Drug Enforcement Service agent, it was learned that Golden possessed a tactical vest with the "Drug Enforcement Department Police" badge, as well as two body armor, handcuffs, badges and an AR-15 rifle — later confirmed to be a BB air shotgun. Golden also said he had previously helped stop a brawl when he shouted "Police!" and held up his fake badge like a cop.
According to the contents of the criminal indictment, the unidentified female "trainee" told the authorities that Golden gave her a Drug Enforcement Bureau badge and a photo ID, and said she was undergoing a year-long training. She said Golden took her to practice shooting and participated in "night follow-up shooting" missions; he often mentioned the names of four other so-called DRUG Agents — "Agent Anderson, Agent Louise, Agent Garcia and Ms. Bennett." However, the DRUG Agent who filed the complaint said that there were no such people in the law enforcement team and that the Drug Enforcement Department did not have that kind of task.
According to US media, Golden was accused by Portland officials of impersonating a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, using false documents to obtain information from residents, and installing red and blue emergency service warning lights on his car. The Oregonian newspaper quoted Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Nyhus as saying that If convicted, Golden would face up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The US media pointed out that the complaint did not mention that Golden seduced the woman and made her believe in the possible motives of his agents trained by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
