See excerpt below:
In 2009, Uplands Park “Officer” Lamont Aikens was driving a police car at high speed in a pursuit that ended tragically when the car he was chasing crashed and killed an innocent motorist – a mother of four. Aikens was wearing a police uniform and carrying a weapon, according to the St. Louis City detective who investigated the crash. The report filed by Aikens referred to himself as a “police officer.” A fellow Uplands Park officer said that Aikens drove a police car by himself and made arrests. Aikens wrote traffic tickets, but would sign another officer’s name to the tickets.
