Officers arrived at the scene, debunked Carraman’s claims and took him into custody, SAPD said.
Carraman is charged with impersonating a public servant and theft between $100 to $750, jail records show.
He was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on Tuesday morning, where he remains as of Wednesday afternoon.
