A Moberly man is in custody after police say he impersonated an officer and attempted an armed carjacking at Jefferson City Memorial Airport.
Officers were called to Airport Road Tuesday after a woman reported a man claimed to be a police officer and tried to take her vehicle.
Court documents say 28-year-old Brian Koch approached her car, asked for a ride, then pulled a revolver and a machete when she questioned his identity.
The victim backed away and escaped. Officers later arrested Koch nearby.
Police say he had a knife, a fake badge, and suspected meth.
Koch faces multiple charges, including armed criminal action and vehicle hijacking.
