EUGENE, Ore. - Officers thought they heard a gun being loaded behind a locked apartment door, sparking an armed standoff with what proved to be an empty apartment.

Instead, police found the man they were looking for - 39-year-old Daniel Scott Alloway - on a Lane Transit District bus.

Alloway faces a felony charge of criminal impersonation of a law enforcement officer. Other charges are pending.

Police said Alloway had worn authentic looking attire closely resembling that worn by EPD and at times Homeland Security Federal Protective Services. He had affixed a badge and patches to a fleece jacket similar to those worn by EPD officers; he had authentic looking badges; and had a utility belt similar to that issued to officers including a Taser, handgun, pepper spray, radio and handcuffs, police said.
