A man was arrested late last Thursday night after he reportedly took an Uber to the home of a Knoxville Police Department officer where he broke into the residence and a police cruiser.  WVLT reports that officers reportedly responded to the home of a KPD officer in Powell because an unknown man was operating an issued radio from the residence when no one was supposed to be home.  Police say 51-year-old Dewayne Miller was found wearing the officer’s uniform, tactical vest, law enforcement gear and was armed with a fully loaded pistol. He was also found with over $1,500 cash from the officer’s wallet.  According to WVLT, Miller was charged with aggravated burglary, burglary, criminal impersonation of law enforcement, possession of firearm intent to go armed and theft.
