A silver Ford Mustang allegedly took a $650 beating early Saturday morning in a Strip casino parking lot by a California man claiming to be a police officer, according to Metro Police.

Police arrested Ricardo Saucedo, 21, on suspicion of impersonating an officer and for allegedly kicking the driver side door of a Mustang parked at Bill’s Gaming Hall.

Saucedo was detained around 1:30 a.m. by a Bill’s Gambling Hall security officer, police said. The security guard had asked Saucedo what he was doing and Saucedo allegedly responded that he was a California police officer before attempting to flee the scene, police said.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Saucedo is not a police officer.
