Two Minnesota men accused of scamming people by pretending to law enforcement are now in custody

(Rochester, MN)  --  Olmsted County investigators have arrested two men who allegedly scammed a woman out of $16,000 dollars.  

The sheriff's office says the victim reported the scam on Monday. One suspect reportedly identified himself as a deputy and told the woman she had missed a court date and needed to pay immediately or go to jail. She met the suspect outside the county government center and paid him. Police identified and arrested Demonte Brazil of Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday. They also arrested Gabriel Weatherspoon of South Bend, Indiana, who was in the car with Brazil at the time of his arrest.  

Both men are facing charges of theft by swindle and impersonation.
