The 25-year-old walked into a wedding reception in Louisiana with law enforcement attire and said he was with Homeland Security.
Apparently that was enough for family and friends of the bride and groom to trust him, the Times-Picayune reports.
When everyone departed and the newlyweds left for their reception, the suspect loaded the gifts into his car until he was spotted by the town’s fire chief. The family had planned to return the next day for the gifts.
The suspect was arrested and booked with theft and impersonating a law enforcement official.
