Police in Cody, Wyo., are investigating reports of a man impersonating an FBI agent.

The man is described as white, approximately 40 years old, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with very short brown hair. The man was wearing blue jeans, a grey sweatshirt, brown shoes and had black sunglasses. Witnesses said the man “flashed” a badge.He was last seen driving a maroon four-door SUV.

Impersonating an FBI agent is a felony and can result in doing time in a federal prison.
