Georgia woman arrested for impersonating GBI official
Police say a Georgia woman who knocked on doors claiming to be from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been arrested for impersonating a government official.
Tracy Lynn Allen, 54, was arrested Thursday, according to Cobb County Jail records.
On March 10, Allen began knocking on doors in a neighborhood in Cobb County, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. A Ring doorbell camera on one of the houses captured her, saying she was with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. She was also heard during the late night meet asking for someone who didn’t live at the residence.
