## Caption

A Chandler man was arrested after police say he pretended to be a Mesa police officer while a woman with him allegedly posed as a domestic violence victim in an attempt to get a free hotel room.

Police say 30-year-old Nicholas Grayson Calfy walked into a Fairfield Inn & Suites near I-10 and Chandler Boulevard wearing a black vest marked “POLICE,” a badge and what appeared to be a holstered gun. He allegedly told the front desk he was with Mesa PD and needed a room comped for a domestic violence victim.

When the hotel refused, Calfy allegedly claimed he had spoken with his boss, who was upset they wouldn’t provide the room for free. He and the woman eventually left, but returned later for luggage they had left behind.
Police stopped Calfy as he drove away. He admitted wearing the police gear but denied telling hotel staff he was an officer.

The woman with him reportedly told investigators a different story. According to court documents, she said the two had recently met and had been kicked out of another hotel. She told police Calfy pretended to be an officer while she pretended to be a domestic violence victim so they could try to get a room for free.

Investigators say they found a BB gun in the vehicle along with a shirt marked “Sheriff’s Department.” Calfy was booked on a felony criminal impersonation charge and held on a $15,000 bond.
