An unknown individual used a retired Colorado state trooper's
identity to set up a fake Facebook account and friend both real cops and
apparent ISIS sympathizers, officials revealed in a recent internal
bulletin.
"[We assess] with high confidence that it was
designed under false pretenses to gather information regarding law
enforcement members," said the bulletin from the Colorado Information
Analysis Center, a division of the state's Department of Public Safety.
Authorities said the account was created Oct.
12, and CIAC contacted the retired trooper the next day. He said he was
unaware of the account.
