October 17, 2019 Police responded to the scene shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Dream Park, which is centrally located at Trinity Park, 2001 University Drive.
The video shows the woman approaching a teen on a piece of playground equipment with a group of other young girls at the park. The woman told the young girls to stop because the playground was for children and they were too old. She then started yelling profanities at them.
The police believe she may have been intoxicated, and that she is a local resident.
At some point, the woman screamed, "I'm a f------ PD."

October 16, 2019 The woman continued to say they should read the signs and they were not "f------” children."
"I can have you arrested," the woman says.
She will most likely face a charge of impersonating an officer and disorderly conduct.
