WASHINGTON, D.C. – A woman who was caught at a Washington, D.C. inauguration checkpoint on Saturday told authorities that she was a member of the cabinet,  according to a report.  Linda McGovern, 63, was charged for impersonating a law enforcement officer, fleeing a law enforcement officer, and failure to obey.

“Magovern displayed “a round metallic object later identified as a Military Police Challenge Coin,” and said she was part of law enforcement, according to a police report. After initially complying when asked to park her car, Magovern drove off when then asked to provide her license,” according to a police report obtained by NBC News.
