The man seen wearing a Los Angeles Police Department shirt while shouting “white power” at a Black Lives Matter protest late last month was arrested after trying to represent himself as an officer to deputies in West Hollywood early Friday morning, officials said.
Investigators are seeking additional victims after Daniel Sohn admitted he habitually poses as a police officer to get respect, L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy Joanna Warren said.
Officials describe Sohn as a Asian man in his 30s; jail records list him as 36.
Deputies made contact with Sohn around 12:10 a.m. as he was sleeping in a vehicle outside a business that doesn’t allow overnight parking on the 1200 block of North La Brea Avenue, according to a sheriff’s news release.
“As they made contact with the man to check his welfare deputies noticed the male was wearing a long sleeve shirt with ‘LAPD’ logo on the front and patches on the sleeves,” the release states. The deputies then recognized him from the widely viewed Black Lives Matter protest video.
