A Florida man has pleaded guilty to impersonating a U.S. Marshal, potentially facing years in federal prison. The incident occurred when an actual Marion County deputy noticed a black GMC pickup truck with flashing red and blue lights illegally passing vehicles at a red light intersection in Summerfield. The deputy became suspicious and approached the driver, later identified as 52-year-old Derry Wayne Lambert of Belleview. Lambert was wearing a hat labeled Police U.S. Marshal and carrying a gold badge with U.S. Marshal Service on it. He claimed to be responding to a shooting in the Marion Oaks area but was unable to provide proper credentials. Lambert was arrested for false impersonation of a law enforcement officer, unlawful use of a badge, and unlawful use of blue lights. Further charges were added when a hidden compartment in his wallet was found to contain illegal drugs and a firearm. Lambert pleaded guilty to false impersonation of a federal officer and could face a maximum sentence of three years in federal prison.
