The victim was in the parking lot when the suspect, Nathan Smith, 38, Springfield, approached him and identified himself as a police officer. The victim told Smith he was contacting police and Smith ran away before returning a short time later. 









After identifying himself again as a police officer, Smith brandished a knife and assaulted the victim before running away. The victim was not injured.
 
While officers were speaking with the victim, Smith returned to the area where he again identified himself as a police officer and was detained. Smith was arrested and booked to the Greene County Jail for 2nd degree assault and impersonation of a law enforcement officer.
