A Florida man was arrested after posing as a deputy and holding 2 people at gunpoint.

A Homosassa, Florida man was arrested after posing as a Citrus County deputy and holding a couple at gunpoint during a home invasion.

The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said 32-year-old Eric William Johnson was picked up at a residence by Maynard David Selvog on July 19, and when they arrived, Johnson got out of the vehicle with an AR-15-style rifle, an “airsoft” rifle.

After exiting the vehicle, Johnson knocked on the door of a camper and allegedly yelled, “Citrus County Sheriff’s Department.”

He told the victims to leave the camp as he pointed a rifle at them, and believing him to be a man of the law, they complied.

As Johnson was distracted, the male victim ran to a nearby home for help and told police he saw Selvig sitting in the driver’s seat of an SUV that was parked near the road.

Johnson followed the man to a nearby home, then kicked in the door to gain entry.
